big-devils-dark-treesNestled in the wooded, glacial hills of Washburn County, Hunt Hill is one of northern Wisconsin’s most beautiful and diverse natural areas.  Hunt Hill is located in the heart of northwestern Wisconsin and is 120 miles northeast of Minneapolis.  Situated on 400 acres of majestic forests, meadow, bogs and pristine glacial lakes, our Nature Center and Audubon Sanctuary offers an ideal setting to experience nature.

On the prairie you can stop at the platform and visit our outdoor classroom.  Miles of hiking trails and two clear glacial lakes make the possibilities for outdoor adventure endless.
