Location Crex Meadows is a mix of flowages, wetlands, prairies and forest located in northwest Wisconsin. About 30,000 acres in size, it has an excellent system of gravel roads that allows you to travel the edges as well as cut across the central areas of the park. The easiest way to find the park is by taking Interstate 35 north from Minneapolis, Minn., to Highway 70. Drive east until you reach Grantsburg, where signs will guide you to Crex Meadows. Lodging is available in Grantsburg, although the limited number of rooms makes reservations a wise decision.
