Isle a la Cache

First visit, this place was a very fun field trip for my 2 and 6 year olds. The museum is very nice, simple and easy to move through but with a lot of great tidbits of info about the Native Americans from the area, the French Fur Traders, and also the wildlife. They have made some thoughtful alterations to be more safe during the pandemic and employees were very friendly and helpful. We also really enjoyed walking outside and saw a good amount of wildlife. The trail is just there and back (not a loop), it will be awesome if they are able to expand that in the future. Some other improvements in progress. The bathrooms in the visitor center were very nice and clean! The traders cabin was closed when we were there.

Nice museum, love the grounds and the waking paths. Need to go back.

Great little meusum! Learned a out local history and contemprary issues as well. Very well done.

People who work there are very helpful. Nice place for whole family

Really nice nature center and museum. I stopped in to get a stamp for the I&M National Heritage Area. A very pleasant staffer helped me, I was quite impressed with the nature center and the museum inside.

Always an adventure ! So Beautiful and peaceful. I went today just planning to take a short walk and spent two hours exploring, just My husband & I

Nice place to take the kids for a few hours. Museum is open and free. Seen a lot of people fishing.

This is a great place to take your kids to learn about the area and history of trappers and settlers. Beautiful and interactive, they have lots of events for the family and nature enthusiast. Did a paint and wine event it was awesome. Cant wait to see this place in the spring. Lots of birds

Its a small forest, but its got everythingyou can see birds, hummingbirds, religious mantis and fish

Fun place to yak the river, easy Portage launch

Great nature spot!

My son like he the turtles.

Outstandingly beautiful even on a rainy cold day in February. Dress for the weather and chase away cabin fever. We saw 2 Swans!?

I love it! Nice education and history. The pond is really good for catching animals like turtles, frogs, tadpoles, and fish! Great wildlife.

Great local information with a friendly staff. Beautiful park but very small. Great place to walk the dogs as long as you dont mind running into other people.

Nice place to take pictures at as you can see i got a lot of nice pictures of my Granddaughter her family and her Boyfriend and his family with out the rain

Went to an interesting and informative talk there today.

Interesting and educational took a nine-year-old and her mom. Walked all over. Had a very nice day

Very clean and well maintained place. Beautiful spot to take your family

Went to the Living History demo to learn about 18th century Illinois. It was very informative and the people were very knowledgeable.

Great FREE museum! My son had a blast with the footprint station and we look forward to the turtles... But the path just ends so, like we did, enjoy each stopping point on the lake along the way! Climb a few trees take your time along the path and its great!

Great programs, wonderful local history museum.

Perfect access for kayak/canoe put in.

Currentlyently flodded but a great place

Nice park

Great place. Staff is friendly. Small interactive museum that is entertaining for preschoolers yet informative for older childr en and adults.

Great place to spend a little time, learn a little bit in the museum, enjoy nature and take some photos.

GREAT place had fun.

Nature living

Love it nature close to home

Awesome place. They do great learning stuff for kids

Nice museum and nature preserve to go hiking.

Very educational and hiking was great for little guys.

Review is for the boat launch: Plenty of parking, and short paved walkway to the river. There is a pier but I think that is more for looking out and not launching. Water level was low so bank was very muddy and rocky. There is no ADA compliant EZ dock at this launch

Drove here because online said it was open. But they are CLOSED on Monday.

Very informative, nice smoke free environment.

Most peaceful and beautiful place

Park is overgrown

Love the place

Fishing

Fishing there at the back was slow. No hits. Water was low. Used float stick and worm lure.

Such a beautiful place

Easy to launch kayak or canoe
