A GPS unit or compass and detailed topographic map are useful tools for exploring larger SNAs. Hiking trails may be nonexistent or consist of undeveloped footpaths. Parking lots and lanes are not plowed during winter. Some SNAs have vehicle access lanes or parking lots, but their accessibility may vary depending on weather conditions. The good majority of SNAs are isolated and have few or no facilities. A compass and topographic map or a GPS unit are useful tools for exploring larger, isolated SNAs.
If a developed trail is present, it will normally be noted on the SNA map and/or under the "Access" tab. Trails, if present, are typically undesignated footpaths. Parking lots or designated parking areas are noted on individual SNA pages and maps. Generally, there are no picnic areas, restrooms, or other developments. Very few State Natural Areas have public facilities, but nearly all are open for a variety of recreational activities as indicated below. Meridian Park is owned by Door County and was designated a State Natural Area in 2007. The park was then legally dedicated as a State Natural Area, the highest form of land protection in the state.

In 2006, The Wisconsin Chapter of The Nature Conservancy donated a forty-acre parcel to the county.
MERIDIAN PARK SERIES
Also present is a series of dry sandy ridges alternating with lower wet swales that tell the story of the receding shoreline of Lake Michigan. The shrub layer is composed primarily of Canada yew, a declining species in Wisconsin due to deer browse. Canopy associates include beech, red maple, white cedar, and a few super-canopy white pine. Other natural features are the mile-long 50-to-60 feet high sand dunes forested with a mature northern mesic forest of hemlock, sugar maple, and yellow birch. This area is important habitat for rare land snails and ferns living in the tiny, damp grottos of moss and dolomite. Of note is the 10-to-15 foot high ledge of rock outcrop, part of the Niagara Escarpment, which chronicles the weathering effects of Lake Michigan waves in ancient times. Situated on an isthmus of sand between the south end of Kangaroo Lake and Lake Michigan, Meridian Park contains a diverse set of natural features characteristic of Door County including dolomite outcroppings and escarpment, sand ridge and swale complex, forested sand dune, alkaline marsh, and sedge meadow.
