Stockbridge Ledge Woods features a mature forest situated on the top of the Niagara Escarpment. The forest is dominated by large sugar maple, American beech, and basswood along with white oak and contains numerous savanna grasses and forbs. Its position atop the escarpment affords a scenic view of Lake Winnebago. There is a good diversity of tree sizes and an equally diverse understory. The herbaceous layer includes wood anemone, blue cohosh, nodding trillium, trout-lily, may-apple, bellwort, early meadow-rue, Missouri goldenrod, Pennsylvania sedge, thimbleweed, shooting-star, and hepatica. Cream gentian (Gentiana alba), state threatened, has been recorded for the area. Additional rare species would probably be found with more inventory work. Ephemeral ponds are present throughout the flat crest of the outcrop. Stockbridge Ledge Woods is owned by the DNR and was designated a State Natural Area in 2002.
