"Some counties in the nation would spend millions of dollars to reproduce artificially what nature has formed at Baileys Harbor." -- Albert Fuller, 1937 www.RidgesSanctuary.org
A unique pristine nature area on the Lake Michigan shore. Made up of a series of beach ridges and swales, the Sanctuary harbors a diversity of habitats which makes it the most biologically diverse area in Wisconsin. On the property are the historic Baileys Harbor Range Lights that used to guide ships into Baileys Harbor when it was the busiest harbor on Lake Michigan north of Milwaukee.
The mission of the Ridges Sanctuary is to protect the Sanctuary and inspire stewardship of natural areas through programs of education, outreach and research.
Over 5 miles of trails are open year-round for hiking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. Educational opportunities include summer children's programs, adult and family workshops, naturalist-guided hikes, and special events. Our Nature Store features field guides, puppets, T-shirts, equipment for nature exploration, and much more.
