Laudolff Ledge Conservation Area is the newest addition to the Fond du Lac County Parks system and is located along US Highway 151 on the East side of Lake Winnebago.
In an effort to preserve property along “The Ledge” for future generations to enjoy, Fond du Lac County acquired this unique piece of land from Laudolff Enterprises, LLC in 2020 with the assistance of the Wisconsin Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Grant.
This 24.6-acre parcel contains 965 linear feet of wooded Niagara Escarpment with ledge rock ranging from 45-60 feet in height as well as 18 acres of former cropland, which is currently being restored to its native, original habitat of tall-mesic prairie.
Still mostly undeveloped, Laudolff Ledge Conservation Area offers space for many outdoor recreational activities, including hiking, wildlife viewing, and picnicking. It is also one of our two parks that allow hunting, per the Fond du Lac County Parks Ordinance.
