Van Loon Floodplain Forest State Natural Area
Low-lying floodplain forest along the Mississippi — prime for intimate woodland scenes, reflections in backwaters, spring wildflowers, songbirds and migratory waterfowl. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm side-lighting and mist; spring migration and autumn leaf color are peak seasons. Trails are short and generally flat; parking available along WI‑35/near trailheads. Expect muddy paths after high water; bring waterproof footwear. No fee; respect fragile habitat and keep distance from nests.
