Parks & Recreation

Big Falls Boat Landing

On a 1/3 of an acre exists the Big Falls Boat Landing with public access to the Big Falls Pond and Little Wolf River flowage. A picnic area exists with permanent tables over- looking the pond and river with attractive granite rock outcroppings that create a natural path to the water. The shoreline hosts a fishing dock with a gravel boat launch which provides water access. There is also a gravel parking lot across the street for trailers.

Big Falls Central Park NOW called Andy's Park

About 1.3 acres of village-owned property is allocated to Andy's Park, located in the southeastern portion of the community. Facilities include an open shelter with enclosed storage, a basketball court, pit restrooms, picnic tables, a variety of play equipment, and grass volleyball court open area. It was named after long time park keeper Andy.

Big Falls New North Park

Occupying just over 12 acres, New North Park provides additional space for events such as the Annual Corn Roast held in August. The site has a steep passage down to a flat lying area with picnic tables and shade trees overlooking the Dam which makes this a great spot to relax. The park also has added space below the rock escarpment and down to the river’s edge. Wildflower patches exist in the park which would make a great picnic area or a disc golf course in the flat space. The river in this section has a more laminar flow. A graded trail is also wide enough to drive an emergency vehicle down and also serves for maintenance needs.

Little Wolf River

Great angling, swimming, and tubing opportunities exist, as well as kayaking and canoeing.  The class III & IV rapids make for a unique recreational experience along with the serenity, beauty, and rural setting like you are up north but in central Wisconsin. Eagles, countless ducks, herons exist along it's borders. Waterfalls and hidden secrets are just waiting to be discovered.

Trails

Snowmobile trails exist as an easy way to get from point A to point B in the winter time as snowfall is abundant. Additional biking and walking trails are being looked at to increase health and vitality.
