All ages are encouraged to participate!

What You Can Find Here

Restored Wetland and Upland

Take the boardwalk through the tall prairie which leads you to an overlook of the amphibian pond, then a fishing spot along Southwick Creek and a worm digging bin!  Walk further to find the butterfly garden, a nature trail with Native American history, and a natural playground.  Visit the barn in the summer to see animal bones, read children's nature books, and visit our observation bee hive. Continue through the Helen Rohner trail into Kishwauketoe Nature Conservancy, a conservation easement of Geneva Lake Conservancy. 

Story Time

History

Long-time Lake Geneva summer resident Jack Rohner donated the money to purchase the 5-are parcel of land for the park and also the funds to develop it into a children's nature and fishing park.  The Park honors his late wife Helen Rohner, who loved children.  The Park opened in June of 2018.
