Paradise Springs is a fun little gem, found just off Hwy N, north of Hwy 59 near Eagle, WI. It’s part of the Kettle Moraine State Forest – Southern Unit. This flat, asphalt-covered 1/2-mile trail accommodates people with disabilities and parents with strollers.
What we love about Paradise Springs is that it’s a hot spot for frogs and the waterfall (spring) is beautiful! There’s so much history to be explored here.
Our team member Angela writes, “we brought a blanket and a picnic lunch. Plenty of grass space for it right by parking and a shelter with some picnic tables, too. Plan about an hour. The water is amazing to look at. Her daughter says it looks like an underwater world.”
Since it’s SO close to Eagle, we recommend pairing this fun sight with a visit to Old World Wisconsin.
