Fischer Creek Conservation Area is the most recent addition to the Manitowoc County Park System. This 160 acre site was purchased by the State of Wisconsin using Stewardship money along with a contribution from Manitowoc County. The property is owned by the State and developed and maintained by the County. 

Portions of the property lie on either side of Fischer Creek. The landscape on both sides of the creek sloped down to the bed of the watercourse and then slopes easterly to Lake Michigan. The property contains a number of abandoned agricultural fields, grassy meadows, and lowland forests.

The only development on the property is the two parking lots, a toilet building, picnic area and recreation trails.

Fischer Creek has about one mile of Lake Michigan shoreline, scenic wooded bluffs, grasslands and wetlands. It's a place for hiking, picnicking, wildlife viewing and relaxing on the beach. Much of the Lake Michigan shoreline consists of scenic bluffs that rise up to 40 feet above the water level. The property is operated by Manitowoc County. — Wisconsin DNR
