Time to embrace the great outdoors and make it a trail-tastic weekend! In celebration of National Trails Day, Brown County Parks is waiving daily trail fees on Saturday, June 6, and Sunday, June 7, 2026. This means free daily trail use for bikes, inline skates, skateboards, and horseback riders aged 16+ on the Fox River Trail, Mountain Bay Trail, Neshota Park, and the Reforestation Camp.

We hope to see you out there!

What a difference a few hours can make! Over a 4-hour period this week, 34 volunteers pulled an incredible 274 pounds of invasive garlic mustard along one of Neshota Park’s most popular trails and in nearby off-trail areas. 🌱

A big thank you to the Denmark Lightning 4-H Club, Denmark High School students, and Viking Academy students for lending a hand. Every plant removed helps give native plants and wildflowers a better chance to thrive in the years ahead.

Here’s a quick look around the park today: the sandbox just got new trucks and toys, the picnic tables are out, flowers are blooming and there’s a special new flower display honoring veterans by the memorial.

Good news! This week Viking Academy students helped plant three new trees in Neshota Park’s picnic area, including two trees funded with a $500 grant from the Cellcom Green Gifts Program.

Many of the picnic area’s oak trees are over 100 years old, so planting new trees now will help maintain the character and shade of the area for future generations.

Thank you to Cellcom for supporting this effort, to Viking Academy students for their hard work and to Haylee from the Brown County Parks Department for guiding the students and helping make the planting project a success.

As the water recedes, we are uncovering more than just dry ground. Mud, debris, and soft conditions mean additional closures are now in place. Please respect all closures and remember, never trust a puddle. Friends of Neshota Park Friends of Reforestation Camp Trails Friends of the Mountain Bay State Trail
