Cadiz Springs State Recreation Area

Cadiz Springs State Recreation Area Highway 11 east of Browntown Browntown, WI 53522 https://www.friendsofcadizsprings.org/

Park features a handicap accessible boat launch, new (2025) kayak and canoe launch, nature trails with educational signs, beach area, shelter house, and 78 foot pole with an osprey nesting platform on top. The kayak and canoe launch provides a stable platform for getting in and out of a canoe/kayak, and also offers space for fishing, or to launch a fishing boat. Friends of Cadiz Springs will be fundraising this year (2025) to restock fish in the lake and install a “permanent solution” over a muddy section of the trail which runs through the park’s wetland. The DNR is reminding everyone not to “stock” Beckman Lake with fish caught in Zanders Lake or anywhere else. The DNR manages the proportions to keep the predator/prey balance, and to allow the existing fish to form a cycle of breeding that is self-perpetuating. Meetings of the Friends of Cadiz Springs are usually held on the second Monday of every month at 6:30 pm at Trailside Inn in Browntown, or in warmer weather at one of the park shelters.
