Fischer Creek State Recreation Area
Static map displayed.
Fischer Creek State Recreation Area is on Lake Michigan just outside of Manitowoc, with about a mile of shoreline below wooded bluffs that rise nearly sixty feet above the water, and grasslands and wetlands behind them. The DNR owns it, and Manitowoc County runs it as the Fischer Creek Conservation Area. I spent the late morning of July 2, 2022, there, on a bright, hazy summer day. The trail is nice; it reminded me of the Lion’s Den Gorge Nature Preserve in Ozaukee County. I walked past an old farm silo standing in the grass, crossed Fischer Creek on an old iron truss bridge near its mouth, and followed the bluff above the lake, which was calm and so clear that I could see the stones on the bottom.
