Parks<br />

No matter what the season, the<br />

<strong>Stevens</strong> <strong>Point</strong> <strong>Area</strong>’s beautiful outdoor<br />

attractions set good times in motion.<br />

In the spring, enjoy the warm sun with<br />

a round of disc golf, or admire the new<br />

leaves as you hike on a scenic nature<br />

trail. Feel some creative energy during<br />

the annual Arts Walk, an event with<br />

musicians, dancers, and art activities.<br />

The <strong>Stevens</strong> <strong>Point</strong> <strong>Area</strong> entices outdoor enthusiasts with a classic mix of scenic trails.<br />

Here are some of the biggest hits:<br />

THE GREEN CIRCLE TRAIL is a 27-mile<br />

trail that circles the <strong>Stevens</strong> <strong>Point</strong> <strong>Area</strong>,<br />

passing the Wisconsin River, Plover<br />

River and other streams. The trailhead<br />

is located at the Schmeeckle Reserve,<br />

a beautiful 280-acre natural area that’s<br />

part of the UW-<strong>Stevens</strong> <strong>Point</strong> campus.<br />

THE TOMORROW RIVER STATE TRAIL<br />

features 24 miles of hiking, biking and<br />

horseback riding between Manawa and<br />

Plover. In the winter, it’s a snowmobile<br />

route that picks up in Plover and<br />

Amherst Junction.<br />

THE ICE AGE TRAIL is a thousand-mile<br />

footpath that crosses through Portage<br />

County, offering almost limitless adventure.<br />

STANDING ROCKS COUNTY PARK, just<br />

nine miles east of Plover, has more than<br />

13 miles of rolling trails for hiking<br />

and biking.<br />

BORN LEARNING TRAIL is an interactive<br />

walking trail at Mead Park, just steps from<br />

the popular K.A.S.H. Playground along<br />

the Wisconsin River in <strong>Stevens</strong> <strong>Point</strong>.<br />

In the summer, ride one of our<br />

renowned biking trails and on-road<br />

routes. When the leaves turn, take in<br />

the color as they reflect on the area's<br />

scenic rivers and lakes and admire the<br />

massive flocks of migratory birds that<br />

pass through. Head to Altenburg’s<br />

Farm, where you can enjoy their<br />

pumpkin patch and corn maze, or<br />

stop by Casey’s Orchard for fresh,<br />

juicy apples. In the winter, bomb down<br />

Iverson Park’s sledding hills or their<br />

toboggan run. Take a sleigh ride at<br />

Wild West Campground & Corral or<br />

explore our ski and snowshoe trails or<br />

a picturesque skating rink.<br />

Just south of <strong>Stevens</strong> <strong>Point</strong> on the east shore of<br />

the Wisconsin River is the Village of Plover. This<br />

charming community is conveniently located at<br />

the crossroads of I-39 and is home to a variety of<br />

retailers and businesses, including O’so Brewing<br />

Company and Great Northern Distilling. The village<br />

also has many great parks and the Korean War<br />

Memorial of Wisconsin at Lake Pacawa.<br />

Amherst<br />

On the banks of the Tomorrow River, you’ll<br />

find the Village of Amherst, a quiet but thriving<br />

community with a very strong sense of place.<br />

Amherst is home to the Tomorrow River State<br />

Trail, Lettie W. Jensen Community Center and<br />

Central Waters Brewing Company.<br />

Other Gems<br />

The countryside is dotted with small communities<br />

like Junction City, Almond, Bancroft, Rosholt,<br />

Nelsonville, Park Ridge, Whiting and Amherst<br />

Junction. The rural Lake DuBay area in northwestern<br />

Portage County offers many recreational<br />

opportunities and encompasses most of the<br />

townships of Eau Pleine, Hull and Dewey.<br />

Fun Facts<br />

The <strong>Stevens</strong> <strong>Point</strong> Brewery is one of the oldest<br />

continually operating breweries in the nation.<br />

It was founded in 1857 and once provided beer<br />

to soldiers in the American Civil War. The brewery<br />

survived Prohibition and today it makes a variety<br />

of delicious award-winning beers.<br />
