The Apple River’s First Interpretive Nature Center
Riverwood consists of 35 acres of land, with 3,000 feet of frontage along the Apple River, in Star Prairie, Wisconsin. The Apple River is a 77.5 mile-long tributary of the St. Croix River and provides an important watershed to the St. Croix and beyond.
Riverwood Nature Center plans to own, maintain, preserve, and protect the property consisting of prime upland and aquatic wildlife habitat as an interpretive nature center and preserve open to the public. Available activities will include walking trails, cross country skiing, fishing, permitted hunting, wildlife observation, and environmental and outdoor educational programing.
While our site is currently under construction, we invite you to get involved in creating a peaceful place to escape into nature, in the heart of western Wisconsin. Find out how you can help below.
