High St. Racine, WI Although labeled a nature center, this park is not the traditional nature center we are familiar with. This 68-acre property is dominated by floodplain forest, with occasional small prairie openings. Anglers love to fish the Root River from this park.
Birds are plentiful.
Raptors can be seen soaring through the forest. Woodpeckers can be heard making noise. Ephemeral ponds provide unique wet habitat. However, this natural area has severe problems. Buckthorn is invading.
