Oak savanna panorama

1800-acre Lulu Lake SNA, co-owned by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and The Nature Conservancy, is widely recognized for its ecological importance. The site features a diverse mix of wetlands and uplands shaped by the glaciers. The mosaic of bogs, fens, sedge meadows, and prairies found here provide essential habitat for many plant and wildlife species. It is home to over 50 acres of oak savanna, a globally-rare ecosystem.

The lake itself is 95 acres and 40 feet deep, a drainage kettle lake fed by the highly diverse Mukwonago River. Its clear waters provide habitat for many rare fish, amphibians, reptiles, and bird species. It is accessible by boat from nearby Eagle Spring Lake. No-wake motor boats are allowed.

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology lists Lulu Lake State Natural Area on its eBird website as a birding hotspot with 104 species recorded.

There are four parking lots at various points around the property. See map.
