Saller Woods in Burlington

 

118-acre Saller Woods Park was a gift to Racine County by Frank and Mary Saller, who wanted to preserve the land in its natural state for future generations. The land had served as a gravel pit during construction of adjacent Hwy 36. Mr. Saller spent years restoring the land, planting hundreds of trees, and developing the walking trails. An avid outdoorsman, he enjoyed spending time hunting, and in nature, with his son, Frankie, who sadly passed away in his early 30’s. The park is dedicated to Frankie.

 

Nestled along the Fox River, the woodlands were to be preserved as a passive natural habitat, providing hiking trails, wildlife viewing, and plenty of wildlife habitat. The Seven Waters Bike Trail runs through the park, connecting it with Case Eagle Park just to the north, as well as to other parks within the City of Burlington to the south.

 

The parking lot is accessible only from southbound Highway 36/83.
