DNR info
“ Brunet Island State Park, on the Chippewa and Fisher rivers, offers more than 1,300 acres of scenic beauty and recreational opportunities. Quiet lagoons and channels are excellent for canoeing and wildlife watching. The rolling landscape in Chippewa County is a product of the most recent Ice Age. The park links to the Old Abe State Trail which runs from Cornell to Chippewa Falls.”

Experience
Low mosquitoes, sunny, pleasant. Lars and I took the campground loop along with the the mini loop Jean Brunet Nature trail. It’s very quiet (even when other people are out and about) and well-shaded.
We stopped at the pet-run area - not enclosed, but lots of space! A nice picnic table (and stone benches at the other end) where I could do my reading assignment.
Goals
- Hiking: about 2.2 miles
- Reading: An Introduction to Making Interactive Maps in R with Leaflet
