Severson Dells: Family Creek Walk

Step into Hall Creek and journey back in time! Creek Hikes at Severson Dells Nature Center follow the 458 million year old natural rock formations called Dells. Discover marine fossils, walk under rare plant species, and meet some of the amazing creatures that call the creek home.

• Participants must be comfortable walking in a slow current and navigating over fallen logs.
• The creek bed can be muddy and uneven at times.

• Participants are encouraged to wear quick-dry athletic clothing or swimwear.
• Participants ages 7+ are welcome.
• Participants under the ages of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
• All participants must submit a waiver in advance or arrive early to complete one.
