This morning I saw a fawn almost run in front of me on Kettle Moraine Road but then it changed his mind. Let’s all be aware of the young fawns on our way to the park.

The best days outside aren’t measured by miles hiked—they’re measured by the moments that make you stop and smile.

This month, we challenge you to:
🌼 Find one wildflower
🐦 Listen for three different birds
🌅 Watch one unforgettable sunset
🗑️ Pick up five pieces of litter
💚 Thank a volunteer who helps care for our public lands

Simple acts can deepen our connection to nature and make a lasting impact on the places we love. Whether you're exploring a Wisconsin state park, trail, forest, or your own neighborhood, every moment counts.

Complete the challenge? Tag Friends of Wisconsin State Parks in your adventure photos and inspire others to step outside, slow down, and become stewards of the outdoors.

After all, the greatest adventures aren't just about where you go—they're about how you leave the world when you're done.

This past weekend was pretty busy. The Friends of Pike Lake along with a grant from the Friends of Wisconsin State Parks helped to host the Wildlife in Need Center at the amphitheater. Saturday also had a boat race event that brought spectators to the beach area and some fast boats to the lake. The Hike with the superintendent event on Sunday had a good and informative hike from the office on the multi use trail to the campground and checked out a part of the brown trail.

More events are coming up, so make sure to stop out and enjoy some time at Pike Lake!!

So many fun events left this summer at Pike Lake!!
