The Mysterious Hills Winter Hike Series here at Brown County State Park has become a bit of a tradition. This series takes visitors off the beaten path to discover some of the historic places hidden beneath the forest canopy. From man made lakes that were started but never finished, to an old village with many homesteads, and even to a large boulder perched high in the tree tops, these hikes never disappoint. Don’t miss out on these once a year journeys to places only accessible with the state park naturalist!
