WHO WE ARE
We are the Friends of Point Beach State Forest, a non-profit organization formed in 1999.
We are incorporated with tax-exempt status.
The Friends of Point Beach is made up of members from the local communities surrounding the forest, as well as individuals, families, and organizations that wish to preserve the natural beauty of Point Beach State Forest for generations to come.

There are numerous picnic areas with tables, grills, water, concession stand, playgrounds and restrooms. Point Beach also has 11 miles of hiking/skiing trails and a self guided half mile nature trail. Numerous Summer programs are scheduled at the Nature Center in the Lodge Building.
