river bend nature center

Our daughter got married in the big lodge at River Bend Nature Center. The wedding was planned to be outdoors but because of possiblility rain it was held indoors. Everything went has planned indoors. A few drops of rain did fall as we walked our daughter from the small lodge down the walkway to the big lodge - but the sun did come out right after they were pronounced husband and wife. My husband and I will have to return another time when it is not to hot or rainy to hike some of the trails.

My girls love visiting "the woods". :) River Bend Nature Center has several trails, some ponds, and borders a portion of the Root River. We come several times during the year to walk the trails, look for animals, birds, changing leaves, and stomp through the snow. They have also started to offer more programming including a summer day camp, a monthly Tiny Tots program, family day, and more. You can also rent canoes and kayaks to enjoy on the river. Prices are reasonable and they provide everything you need including life jackets.The main building are maintained nicely and the county and non-profit group are working well together to keep this gem a must-do activity for the Racine area.

River Bend is full of nature oriented activities, nature trails, canoe & kayak rental and an Archery range. You can catch frogs or watch the staff collect and make Maple syrup (in season). There are a variety of activities for all ages... from chainsaw carving shows to woodcarving lessons as well as week long programs for the younger set.You can't find a nicer place or group of people to spend the weekend with!

My family loves to go to River Bend to escape urban life. It's beautiful serenity is top notch. It would be lovely if people donated more to fix up a few things, but the ruggedness adds to the ambience.

Ok if you leave your dog home. NO DOGSIt just seams that Racine County don't like animals.Probably because of a few bad pet owners.

Took some friends from IL for a fall walk. The staff was helpful in directing us to where we could walk for shorter / longer distances. Enjoyed being in nature!

River Bend offers some of the best "outdoor" activities, for all ages, year around. We take advantage of Canoeing when ever we can. Very reasonable prices and many activities are free. Membership is also very reasonable. Great place for Family outings/activities.
