Hobbs Woods

Located about three miles south of Fond du Lac at N4145 Hickory Rd., Hobbs Woods is a 60-acre county park devoted to hiking and nature study. Most of the park is thickly wooded, but several acres of prairie, planted in 1979-80, are coming along well. Parsons Creek carves a large ravine through the park, and harbors some naturally reproducing brook trout. About three miles of nature trails, which are keyed to a self-guiding brochure, wind through the park. 

The park is quite popular for hiking in the spring, summer and fall and for cross-country skiing during the winter. Recent improvements at Hobbs Woods include a new parking lot, picnic area and boardwalk. Past work has been done by the former Wisconsin Conservation Corps and parks crews to enhance trout habitat and reduce stream bank erosion in Parsons Creek, including removal of deadfalls or dead trees, which threaten to fall on trails or restrict the flow of the creek.
