Step into the fascinating world beneath the ice with Wolf Ridge Naturalists!

This unique hands-on workshop offers an immersive experience into winter lake ecology and the longstanding tradition of ice fishing. Discover the hidden life beneath frozen lakes and ponds, and learn about the remarkable adaptations of animals that survive and thrive in winter conditions.

What to Expect:

  • Ecology Deep Dive: Understand the science of frozen water ecosystems and uncover the mysteries of how lakes and ponds transform during the winter months.
  • Guided Ice Fishing Experience: Learn the fundamentals of ice fishing from seasoned naturalists. From using tip-ups to navigating underwater cameras, gain the skills needed to explore beneath the surface.
