Friends of Wild River State Park Pancake Breakfast

Friends of Wild River State Park will hold its pancake breakfast and annual meeting from 9–11 a.m. on March 14 at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Almelund. The free event is open to everyone.

The morning will kick off at 9 a.m. with breakfast, consisting of “famous secret” made-from-scratch buttermilk pancakes, served with homemade maple syrup tapped from Wild River State Park’s sugar bush, accompanied by fresh sausage, coffee and juice.

Following breakfast, the annual meeting will include a review of the Friends’ 2025 programs and initiatives, a look ahead to plans for the rest of 2026, reports from the group’s board and park staff and presentation of the annual Wild Friend award. In addition, local historian Lin Strong will give a brief talk on Wild River State Park’s Nevers Dam, which was removed in 1954.

Current Friends members may renew their annual membership at the event, and non-members will be given the opportunity to become members, although it is not required for attending the event.

The church is located at 37515 Park Trail in Almelund. Attendees should enter the building via the side door off Maple Lane.
