Pringle Nature Center and Bristol Woods County Park

Pringle Nature Center is located in 200-acre Bristol Woods County Park, which includes oak savanna, ephemeral wetlands, and restored prairie. There are four miles of trails through rolling hills for hiking and running. In the winter time, the trails remain ungroomed but can be used for skiing and snowshoeing. Snowshoes are available for renting.

The nature center provides environmental education to school groups, youth organizations, families, youth and adults, along with volunteer opportunities.

Pringle Nature Center / Bristol Woods Park is a part of the Great Wisconsin Birding and Nature Trail and is identified as an ebird hotspot. You may see downy and hairy woodpeckers, white-breasted nuthatches, brown creepers, indigo bunting, song sparrows, and blue jays. Wildlife includes coyote, raccoon, and deer.
