A smaller State Park, but man what a great hiking trail and probably the most unique office of any of the parks! The main area offers restrooms, plenty of tables and grills, bubblers, a shelter, and a playground. The hiking trail is absolutely gorgeous! High rock formations on one side and beautiful marshland on the other. It's not an overly cumbersome hike, but you do need to watch your footing... A smaller State Park, but man what a great hiking trail and probably the most unique office of any of the parks! The main area offers restrooms, plenty of tables and grills, bubblers, a shelter, and a playground. The hiking trail is absolutely gorgeous! High rock formations on one side and beautiful marshland on the other. It's not an overly cumbersome hike, but you do need to watch your footing as there are many roots. I think we kicked and tripped on just about every root there walking while looking up at the rock formations, lol. There were so many weird swirls in the boulders. I suggest adding an informational sign about the creation of these unique patterns. There are two levels to the trail. I feel like the lower level has the better views, but the upper level is easier to traverse. The stairs at the far end are currently broken, so keep that in mind when visiting. Well worth visiting! Great hiking with great views, and a very nice park area.

A stable, mostly flat short loop with some pretty bluffs on the low side and one you make the turn, a straight trail through the woods. If you’re a serious hiker it’s not going to be a good time for you- if you are looking for a leisurely hike in nature- you’ll be pleased. Some of the rocks are nice and close and ready to climb without much danger- if you have younger kids who you want to have a...

Loved this previously unknown to me state park. I walked the trail on a cold morning just after first snowfall. One of the most peaceful hikes ever.

This is our second time to this state park. We like the convenience of being able to slip away from the busy Dells to have a picnic lunch or stretch our legs. Therr is a nature trail that we did not utilize. The park doesnt have much, some swings, a slide (that was out of order) and a rock climbing wall, but it is enough to spark a little excitement. The true excitement came this last time whe... This is our second time to this state park.

The true excitement came this last time when we found the coolest mushrooms and a little trail to a cave right behind the bathrooms.

Not much here. I drove in. Signs talking about ticks. A spot saying trails but didn't really look like much. I thought the trees 🌳 looked pretty sweet though. Never seen trees so thin so monstersly tall. After driving in. Looking around I left. Certainly didn't look like much to hike through. The rest of the park had spots for camping. This is right next to Wisconsin Dells so probably a cheap... Not much here. I drove in. Signs talking about ticks. A spot saying trails but didn't really look like much.
