Cylon Wildlife Area

Cylon Wildlife Area is a protected preserve in St. Croix County, Wisconsin, encompassing wetlands, forests, and open fields. These varied habitats support a diverse range of animal and plant life throughout the seasons.

The property was acquired in 1975 to establish it as a protected reserve. Prior to that, the land was home to the Santee Sioux and Ojibwa peoples who lived there for centuries.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources manages this area, implementing conservation strategies and offering educational programs about local ecosystems.

The site can be explored on designated trails, with parking available near the entrance for easy access. The best times to visit depend on what wildlife you hope to observe, as different species are active throughout the year.

Adjacent to the preserve is the Cylon State Natural Area, which protects additional woodlands and sedge meadows. The Willow River forms a natural boundary that connects these protected spaces into one larger ecological corridor.
