McMillan Marsh Wildlife Area

Near the headwaters of the Little Eau Pleine River, McMillan Marsh Wildlife Area is a diverse landscape of wetlands, woodlands, and grasslands. The area is approximately 6,500 acres in size and is located in the southwest corner of Marathon County, just one mile north of the city limits of Marshfield. The area is managed by Department of Natural Resources personnel stationed at the George W. Mead Wildlife area headquarters. Except for designated refuge area, the property is open to hunting and trapping during the regular seasons. A seasonal 5.5 mile bicycle trail is open from May 1 thru August 31. Other recreational activities include hiking and wildlife viewing. Dogs must be on a leash April 15 thru July 31 for the protection of ground nesting wildlife.
