A prodigious patch of eastern skunk cabbage
Steep wooded hills, and impenetrable wetlands, dominate this 30-acre City of Delafield preserve at the northern tip of Nagawicka Lake. The preserve is adjacent to the Village of Nashotah’s Dickton Park and an approximately mile-long trail runs the length of the preserve, connecting Dickton Park on the west with Lake Country Elementary School on the east.
It is designated for passive uses such as walking and enjoying nature. In winter the preserve provides walk-in access to the lake for ice fishing. Dogs on leash are welcome.
Two small parking lots provide access from Vettelson Road. There are no amenities in the preserve.
