Lost Creek Watershed Land Protection & Partnership

Landmark Conservancy has purchased a 69-acre forested property located at the confluence of the Chippewa River and Elk Creek, located in Dunn County between Eau Claire and Menomonie.

The property was sold by the Midwest Institute of Scandinavian Culture (MWISC), a small non-profit organization based in Eau Claire whose mission is the education and promotion of Scandinavian culture. MWISC acquired the land in the 1960s and took steps in the 1970s to improve the property in preparation for building a Nordic Cultural Center. When the organization recognized their vision was no longer attainable, they decided to work with Landmark to protect the ecological resources of the property and to promote public access for generations to come.

The Big Ravine trail system is a vital part of the Big Ravine watershed and the trail systems in Bayfield, Wisconsin. The important thing about trails is that you need to have land to put them on that is available and open to the public. Landmark Conservancy navigated acquiring the land to help it be made available for public use. Bayfield Area Trails will use their expertise to place trails on this new ten acre parcel of land to connect the Big Ravine trail system.
