» 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 Road. There is also parking at the west end of the trail. Location on Map » Wolf River Sturgeon Trail 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 late March through early 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. » 2011 Sturgeon Spawning Watch
As of Sunday, May 1st, the unusual 2011 Sturgeon Spawning season
drew to an end. This season, the first sturgeon were spotted
along the Sturgeon Trail on Cty. Hwy. X west of New London and
at Bamboo Bend in Shiocton the weekend of April 15th and 16th.
The weather then turned cool and activity ceased until
Wednesday, April 27th, when temperatures rose just enough to
encourage the sturgeon to again spawn. The New London and
Shiocton observation locations again became hot spots of
spawning activity.
