Before Brown County State Park became a park, the land was part of the county. Many homesteads existed here, including a small village known as Kelp Village. Hike with us as we explore this old village - we'll see foundations of buildings, home sites, and more! This hike is about 1.5 miles round trip and is probably the least rugged of all the Winter Hikes. Most of this hike will be along a park road, but we will venture off the road and off trail into the woods to see some of the sites. There aren't any big altitude changes which is what makes this one so much easier. There is also one creek crossing. Please dress for the weather. 1.5 miles, rating: Easy, 1.5 hours long  Meet at the Nature Center; then we'll carpool to the destination.

Please do not bring pets on off trail hikes.
