Took the dog here for a hike in the summer. Didn’t see many other people, which was nice to «get away from it all» with a short drive from Milwaukee. We took a route to the observation tower, which I would definitely recommend. The views are fantastic. There is a lake there but we didn’t make it that far, so I can’t opine on that park of the park.

I have been here a handful of times in the past few weeks as friends let me in on this was one of the best places to forage for mushrooms. The park is beautiful and sits right on the lake, I could def see this as a park I will be coming back for and not only the mushrooms. I would advise buying a sticker as there is a fine of $ 160 for those cars without the sticker.

Nice park for an afternoon at the lake. The beach is nice and there is a lap swimming area that is deep. Dog’s aren’t «allowed» at the beach, there is a specific area to walk them. However my aunt brought her dog and there were a few other dogs there, we just stayed off to the side and tied the dog up. A ranger even came by, saw all the dogs and didn’t say anything.

Love love love this park! For lots of reasons, too: 1. Not far from MKEATALL.(Not even a 45 minute drive!) 2. Super pretty: you feel as though you’re super remote though you’re mere steps from ‘burb-ish civilization and strip malls. 3. Lovely beach, lovely lake — great for both swimming AND fishing. 4. Camp to your heart’s content! S’mores, burgers, beers, and crickets chirping + stars overhead… so so good. I don’t have a dog, but they say no dogs? Idk.

This park is sooooooo pretty. We went on a Monday, but I can imagine it gets pretty damn busy on weekends. Although not super soft, the beach is sandy and clean. There are no trash cans ANYWHERE(not even in the restrooms) so make sure to bring an extra bag. There’s a beach, playground, restrooms, hiking trail, riverwalk, tons of grilling/picnic spots, and a pier for fishing. I was hesitant to even write this review, scared that people will catch on… :) On our nature walk, we saw 3 painted turtles! The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because dogs aren’t allowed.(We brought ours anyway:)
