One of wisconsins best hiking areas!
It was our first time here, though we had visited the park last year and enjoyed swimming and canoeing. This time we camped (tent). Our campsite was on Wisconsin Ridge, which was good but I preferred the ones overlooking the river. Overall, it was very clean and calm with good amenities.
Mixed reviews LOVED keyhole and the cave...Absolutely HATED the sand cave trails that were supposed to lead to falls...no falls, marked trails lead to a circle, for a nearly 2 mile trail we got lost and spent two hours trying to get out..exhausted, dying of thirst, scared we weren't going to find out way out before dark. Not one other person on that trail..Absolutely Sucked.
I recommend getting a map a doing the trails. I went to the overlook, sand caves and drove by the boat docs
One of my favorite Wisconsin State Parks! Fantastic views! Has a few small caves too.
