“All About the Duck Lake Nature Trail”

By Alice Brockman

Have you ever wondered about the Duck Lake Nature Trail? The trail, which runs through the Duck Lake Nature Area on the South side of Lake Como (formerly called Duck Lake) spans two miles and is open to the public. Located in Geneva Township just West of the City of Lake Geneva. It has a reputation as being a local hotspot for birders and nature lovers but is used by bicycling and jogging enthusiasts as well. The talk will cover the trail’s history, current usage and also provide some insight with regards to future planning.

Alice Brockman grew up in central Missouri, a real nature girl. A retired journalist and high school educator, Alice lives with husband Don and dog Oakley on Wildwood Drive just three blocks from the Duck Lake Nature Trail. She is a member of the Park Commission for the Town of Geneva, and her responsibilities include monitoring the trail after storm damage. Alice believes the trail is also a park and she’s always thinking up plans for beautification. After all this time it’s still hard to believe it took her seven years to find this hidden gem twenty years ago.
