The Mission of Mosquito Hill Nature Center is to provide environmental education and recreation that foster understanding, appreciation, and sound stewardship of the natural world for people of all ages.

The Mosquito Hill Nature Center is open year round with both indoor and outdoor opportunities on 430 acres adjacent to the Wolf River. Inside are natural history displays, an art gallery, exhibit areas, an auditorium, classrooms, and a library. Outside is a butterfly house which is open July through August and an observatory that's used during scheduled events.

Trail Maps: For hiking or walking, there are three miles of developed trails that include a loop to scenic vistas on one of the highest elevation points in the area. When the snow season arrives, one un-groomed cross-country skiing trail and five miles of snowshoe trails can provide winter enjoyment.

Find many things to do on the events calendar or the Thrivent Art Gallery schedule. There are also various school programs available for any grade level.

The location of the facility is just east of New London, Wisconsin in Outagamie County.

Note: Until further notice, County Highway S (east) is closed in Stephensville for bridge repair (where Highway S crosses the Wolf River). Please use an alternative route listed on our Hours & Location page. This construction will not impact visitors traveling to the nature center along Highway S from the west.

snowshoeing

Are you serious about getting in shape this winter? Don’t want to do it by yourself? Snowshoeing is a great cardiovascular workout. Start with an indoor program on a variety of different topics, then suit up and hit the trails for a bout of invigorating exercise, increasing our speed and distance as the weeks progress. Best suited for teens and adults. If snow conditions are not adequate, a vigorous hike will be substituted.

Cost: $5/session or $20 for the entire series; includes snowshoe rental.

A guided hike around the nature center property will give you some practice with the new footgear and a chance to learn about our winter world.
