T-shirts, sweatshirts, socks, and hats feature Schmeeckle Reserve and Green Circle Trail designs as well as other nature-inspired images for adults and children. Looking for baby and youth sizes?

Trail merch

The Place for Green Circle Trail Gear

Planning to hike, bike, or run the 24-mile Green Circle Trail? Show your Green Circle pride with exclusive merchandise you won’t find anywhere else. The Schmeeckle Gift Shop carries Green Circle Trail branded items, including long- and short-sleeved t-shirts, hats, beanies, stickers, and water bottles.

Nature Books

The Region’s Best Natural History Bookshelf

From tracking wolves in Wisconsin to identifying wild mushrooms to creating a backyard pollinator garden, our book collection covers the full sweep of the natural world. We carry a large selection of natural history books, including an expansive range of field guides and identification charts for birds, plants, insects, trees, and more. Check out our curated selection from conservation writers and regional travel guides, including the Ice Age Trail Guidebook. If it grows, flies, swims, or crawls in the upper Midwest, we probably have a book about it.

Gifts for Kids

Kids’ Corner: Spark a Lifelong Love of Nature

Our Kids’ Corner is packed with nature-themed storybooks, coloring and activity books, and stickers that make learning about the natural world an adventure. Pick up a bug-collecting kit, a magnifying box, or your first pair of binoculars and head straight for the trails outside. It’s the perfect stop after a family hike — or before one. Kids enjoy our vast selection of plush, puppets, puzzles, and realistic squishable critters.

Nature Gifts

Unique Gifts Rooted in Nature

Looking for something a little out of the ordinary? Our unique gifts section is full of surprises. Discover hand-painted bird ornaments, nature-inspired jewelry, and locally made mugs. Our beeswax candles and soy candles fill a room with warmth and make a thoughtful gift for anyone on your list. We also carry a beautiful selection of goat milk skincare products as well as beeswax lip balm. Round out your haul with notecards, postcards, and greeting cards made from recycled paper. Every item tells a story and many of them have roots right here in the Midwest.

Backpacks, totes, and purses

Carry It Home in Style

We carry an array of backpacks, totes, purses and wallets. They are as stylish as they are functional and sized for every errand from the farmers market to the trail. Many feature nature-inspired designs and colors. They’re a sustainable way to show off your love of the outdoors every day. We also carry handcrafted wooden items, from functional pieces to decorative keepsakes. Whether you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind gift or a little something for yourself, there’s always something worth discovering in this corner of the shop.

Snacks and drinks

Fuel Up Before (or After) the Trail

Don’t head out on the trail hungry or come back and crash. Our snack and drink selection has you covered with quick, energizing options to power your hike, bike ride, or paddle. Reward yourself with decadent truffles and candies when you get back.
