Hoffman Hills State Recreation Area

Hoffman Hills is a protected natural area in Dunn County with rolling terrain that combines dense woodlands, open meadows, and hill formations throughout its grounds. A network of marked trails connects these different landscape features and provides access to elevated viewpoints across the property.

The state established this recreation area in 1980 as a dedicated space for outdoor activities in the region. The creation responded to growing conservation needs and the desire to preserve natural habitats while offering public access for recreation.

The recreation area serves as an educational center where visitors learn about local wildlife species and natural conservation through organized programs.

The area features marked trails for hiking, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing with routes designed for different ability levels and fitness backgrounds. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and check weather conditions before visiting, as trail conditions change significantly with the seasons.

Several observation towers are positioned throughout the property at strategic points on the hills to provide panoramic views. These structures allow visitors to experience expanded landscape vistas without requiring extensive hiking to reach the highest elevations.
