Calling all nature lovers. June 6-7 has been declared Free Fun Weekend across the state. Wisconsin residents will be able to enjoy all of the state parks and trails with free admission. The Wisconsin Journal Sentinel’s Wisconsin Trails has put together a list of 15 places to enjoy Wisconsin’s natural wonders this weekend. Some highlights include the Elroy-Sparta state trail, Wisconsin’s first abandoned rail line-turned-bike trail; the Open Door Bird Sanctuary at Whitefish Dune State Park, and the Red Cedar State Trail’s sandstone formations just outside Menomonie. Grab some hiking shoes and hit the trail!
