Little Lake Nature Preserve

Enjoy discovering the wonders of nature found here! This is one of 14 featured Door County Land Trust nature preserves that showcase the scenic beauty and natural diversity that make Door County so special. Nature preserves are open to the public at no charge for hiking, skiing, photography, nature study and other low-impact, non-motorized activities. 

1.25 mile trail begins on a rocky ridge and gently descends into a forest dominated by white cedar and hemlock. The trail offers spectacular views of the preserve’s main feature, Little Lake, and over 5,500 feet of Little Lake and Green Bay shoreline. Wetland-loving plants such as buckbean, marsh bellfl ower and marsh cinquefoil thrive here as do waterfowl and migratory songbirds. Bald eagles, white pelicans and black-throated blue warblers are often observed here.
