1000 Islands Environmental Center is a beautiful place to enjoy nature, with scenic views of the river and plenty of wildlife. Visitors can walk on a variety of trails, including boardwalks and dirt paths, perfect for relaxing and taking in the scenery. The center features a large nature area with activities for kids, along with displays of taxidermy animals like a polar bear and lion. It's a popular spot for families to spend time outdoors, pet goats, have picnics, and explore the trails. The location offers a peaceful environment to decompress, watch wildlife, and enjoy the river. However, some visitors note a occasional smell from nearby Kaukauna that can affect their experience. Overall, it’s a well-organized site that provides a wonderful day in nature for all ages.
This place is incredible! It can get busy though. Need porta potties on the trail. I feel sad for the fish and turtles held captive in the nature center. They look miserable.

Very quiet area. Loved the boardwalk along the river. The goats were so cute.
