Spectators view the sturgeon spawning ritual on the banks of the Wolf River on County Highway X west of New London. » 2010 Sturgeon Spawning Watch As of Monday, April 19th, the unusual 2010 Sturgeon Spawning season drew to an end. This season, the first sturgeons were spotted at Bamboo Bend (Shiocton) the weekend of April 9 – 11. The following weekend (April 16 – 18) the Sturgeon Trail along Cty. Hwy. X west of New London was the hot spot. We hope many of you were able to visit one or more of the viewing spots to observe this awesome annual ritual. If not, they will again return around this time in 2011. |
The trail is a half mile long paved trail immediately next to the Wolf River just west of New London on County X. It’s a great place for fishing or leisurely walks. There are accessible fishing platforms, picnic tables, and a few benches at the trail. A boardwalk extends into a marsh for nature or wildlife viewing. The Mukwa Wildlife Area is on the opposite side of the road. » Sturgeon Run Anytime between early April and late May you can view sturgeon up to 6 feet long from the trail during spawning. This incredible sight only lasts for a couple of days after the water temperature reaches around 53 degrees. Contact the New London Area Chamber of Commerce for updates or to have your name added to a notification list for when they start to spawn. » Location From New London proceed west on Wolf River Avenue past Riverside Park about a mile and a half on County Highway X. Turn right on Big Eddy Rd. There is parking on both ends of the trail. |
