Hixton / Alma Center KOA

The Great Outdoors

Search for an RV in Jackson County, and you can choose between a wide variety of rental RVs to find the unit that is perfectly suited to you. You can use your motorhome rental to spend time in Augusta State Wildlife Area, a marsh and woodland preserve with hiking trails and gravel roads that allow access to the park's interior. A small part of the preserve, located near the city of Augusta, consists of central sandy plains that form slowly rolling hills, while most of the terrain is lowland peat and marsh that was likely formed by glaciers. The marsh areas make this an ideal destination for bird watching and wildlife viewing; hunting is allowed, so you should exercise caution if you're here during hunting season.Black River State Forest, just north of Tomah, is a multi-use refuge that provides the public with some outdoor recreation opportunities. You can come here to enjoy picnicking, wildlife observation, hiking, and biking; however, conditions on the trails can vary significantly from sand and gravel to grass. Hunting and fishing are allowed within the forest with the appropriate licenses; you can stay here with the Alma Center travel trailer rental if you wish, but a permit is also required for camping.Another potential destination for you is Castle Mound Pine Forest, slightly more than 15 miles from Hixton / Alma Center KOA. This sandstone butte rises above the surrounding sandplain and hosts a variety of different tree stand species with minimal undergrowth, making for some lovely scenery and attracting a multitude of resident bird species. The forest has an observation tower at the top and center of the mound where you can look out over the landscape below.
