Fall is officially upon us and for many that means an annual pilgrimage to Horicon Marsh to take in not only the changing leaves, but to see the migration of the Canadian geese.

Horicon Marsh for those of you who are new to the area or simply have never been is the largest freshwater cattail marsh in the United States. It is located in southeast Wisconsin and is a short and beautiful one hour drive from Milwaukee.
In addition to the flocks of Canadian geese, the march is home to over 300 kids of birds, as well as other wildlife and insects.
The marsh offers visitors the opportunity to bike, hike, hunt, trap, canoe. You can also take in the amazing wildlife and perhaps try your hand at wildlife photography by reserving on the special blinds specifically for this purpose. To reserve a blind simply call, 930-387-7860. The Wisconsin DNR offers free driving, hunting, hiking and visitor maps, click HERE to find them.
I have enjoyed many trip to Horicon Marsh over the years and find myself surprised again and again by the sheer number of geese and people that flock to the area to see them.
We are very lucky to have such a special place in Wisconsin.
I should note that with the government shut down 2/3 of the Marsh is closed, this is the part managed by the Federal government. The past of the Marsh that are managed by the State of Wisconsin are open for visitors.
