Located in the City of West Bend, Hepburn Woods is 20 acres. The 0.47-mile trail takes you through upland woods, which hosts a tremendous variety of migratory songbirds. There is an ongoing effort to protect the hardwood forest by continuously removing the area’s aggressive non-local (invasive) species. The extreme topography of glacial ridges and kettles epitomizes this area’s natural beauty and geological significance. Hepburn Woods can be accessed from the Ice Age Trail which runs north and south through adjacent woodlands.
There is NO HUNTING or BIKING allowed at Hepburn Woods. To respect and protect the sensitive plant and animal communities that thrive here, please keep dogs on leash at all times.
Parking is available in the Ice Age Trail’s Glacial Blue Parking Lot to the north of the preserve. Cross the street to the south, follow the Ice Age Trail, then veer off to the right, up the hill, to access Hepburn Woods.
