Located in Waubeka, Hames Nature Preserve is 7 acres containing lowland, floodplain forest and planted prairie along the Milwaukee River. The woods contain silver maple, aspen, willow, box elder and, occasionally, fir, spruce, and cedar. Waubedonia County Park, a 42–acre Ozaukee County Park, is located less than 1 mile downstream. There is one short 0.11-mile trail along the river, but no other maintained trails on this small preserve. When visiting, please keep in mind the sensitive nature of the plants and wildlife that thrive in the area. Tread lightly and keep dogs on leash at all times.
Due to the preserve’s proximity to homes, there is NO HUNTING allowed at this preserve.
To visit, park in our one-car grassed parking area at the corner of Memorial Dr. or 2nd Street.
