The 2026 WGA Spring Picnic will be held at Willow River State Park on Saturday, May 16!
Find us at the shelter down by the beach on Little Falls Lake.
This popular park in northwest Wisconsin features spectacular views of Willow Falls and the Willow River Gorge. Prairie remnants, miles of scenic hiking trails, family and group campgrounds, lakeside picnic areas and a nature center are all found within 2,800 acres of rolling countryside. Visitors will also enjoy paddling, fishing and swimming opportunities on Little Falls Lake.
Little Falls Lake is a non-motorized lake. Gas and electric motors are prohibited. Canoeing and kayaking are popular activities at the park and rentals are available in season.
A daily or annual Wisconsin State Park sticker will be required to enter the park. Buy one here
