A non-profit organization, the FLP, founded in 1989, is dedicated to supporting and promoting the Kettle Moraine State Forest—Lapham Peak Unit, located 3/4 of a mile south of I-94 on County Hwy C (Delafield exit #285), Delafield, WI. We promote special events, fundraising, volunteer work days, and offer additional services to park visitors while also helping the DNR’s Park Personnel. Our first project was to raise funds and enlist volunteers to light a 2.5-mile cross-country ski trail, and later added snowmaking on some of the trails.
Other projects over the years include developing disabled-accessible trails, funding Trecker Lodge amenities, purchasing grooming equipment, volunteering and providing displays at the Hausmann Nature Center, and much more, including races, candlelight skiing and hiking, nature hikes, and habitat restoration.
