The Friends of Rib Mountain State Park invite you to a program on the wonders of Bats, followed by a short "Bat Walk" to observe them in action.

​

Plan on a 30-40 minute presentation at 7:30pm by Jennifer Summers of the Wisconsin Center for Wildlife at UWSP with visual aids (bat study skins and some other small items). Then join a Bat Walk led by Jennifer at dusk (8:46pm sunset that day), who will have her bat echolocation detector along.

 

Bring a headlamp – The walk will be 25 minutes or so, and it will be dark by the time we’re done. The program and walk will begin and end at the Park's Northern Vista Shelter in the day use area (former campground). Hikers should be prepared for some uneven trails. 

​

Thanks to the DNR's Bat Ambassador program for their support.

The Friends of Rib Mountain State Park invite you to hike and explore Rib Mountain to enjoy the birds that live and nest there. Members of the Wausau Bird Club will be leading this hike. You will be amazed at the many bird species that thrive in the Park. Binoculars can be helpful if you have them.

​

The Hike will begin at the Park's western trailhead at W1480 Grouse Lane (go south on Grouse La from Hwy NN), and will last for approximately 90 min. Hikers should bring water and tick repellent, and be prepared to hike some uneven trails with downhill and uphill areas. 

 

NOTE : If the weather is questionable the day of hike, check the Friends FaceBook page or call 715-680-9480 for updates.
