• • The Bong Naturalist Association (BNA) is Richard Bong State Recreation Area’s (RBSRA) official state Friends volunteer group. We support the park in many ways.
  • Capturing Kenosha is a community of passionate photographers and local citizens dedicated to preserving and celebrating what makes Kenosha special. Through their creative vision and collaborative spirit, they turn snapshots into support for meaningful projects such as the restoration of our beloved North Pier Lighthouse, the Hoy Audubon bird box program, and raising funds for Sleep in Heavenly Peace to work toward ensuring every child has a bed to sleep on in our community!

Always as a reminder. You will need to purchase a state park entrance sticker/pass to be admitted to the park.
