About Schmeeckle Reserve
Schmeeckle Reserve is a 280-acre natural area on the UW–Stevens Point campus, with five miles of trails and boardwalks, a 24-acre lake, and a visitor center. The Pankowski Friends Amphitheater is a stone-and-timber space available for weddings and other private or community events. Its tiered sandstone seating accommodates 200–250 people, including accessible spaces, and its covered stage has dimmable lights. The separate Roy and Margaret Menzel Pavilion is an open-air shelter surrounded by prairie, with seating for up to 60, picnic tables, a two-sided sandstone fireplace, and an adjacent patio gathering area; it is available for private and community events. Concrete walkways connect the visitor center parking lot to the pavilion and amphitheater. The amphitheater has an accessible paved seating area and ramp, while the nearby trailhead offers heated, accessible restrooms and overflow gravel parking for up to 60 vehicles.
