Managed by the Brown County Park Department , Barkhausen supports one of the richest remnants of biodiversity along west shore of Green Bay. An observation tower and hiking trails offer excellent opportunities for observing birds and other wildlife at all times of year, particularly during spring and fall. Programs are offered by professional naturalists on a wide range of topics. Demonstrations include a waterfowl management area, prairie restoration site, and native plant nursery. The area is traversed by over 9 miles of trails for hiking, snowshoeing, and cross country skiing.
Picnic facilities are present near the interpretive center and youth group camp is available.
Trails are open daily sunrise to sunset, year-round.
