Explore Outdoor Interpretive Signs

Earlier in the month, Lakeshore staff installed a new interpretive sign highlighting the importance of creating year-round habitat for birds and other native wildlife. The sign is located along the western paved trail, between the beach and fishing pier. The sign was installed using funds from the Friends of Wisconsin State Park’s Incentive Grant. Many thanks to FWSP and FLSP members for the donations that made this project possible!

This beautifully designed addition to the park will help visitors discover the importance of gardening with birds in mind—offering tips, inspiration, and a deeper appreciation for how native plants can create habitat, food, and shelter for our feathered friends. It’s another step toward making Lakeshore State Park a welcoming place not just for people, but for wildlife too. 

And the weather is warming up and the lakefront is getting busy with festivals and runs/walks. The warmer weather also brings back our migrating and resident Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) populations, who have been busy having goslings! Purple Martins (Progne subis) have once again taken residence in the park’s Martin house. The house is located near the marina and passersby should expect to see a full house of mated martins getting ready to hatch their young!
