My furry friend group chose this spot for our big annual camping trip! There were 86 of us total,…read moreand we utilized the Group Site that has several cabins available, plus a main cabin that serves as the place to gather and eat with a full kitchen and walk-in fridge. I really enjoyed the cozy feel to the cabins, which have wonderfully rustic wooden paneling and floors. Our cabin had two wings with four bunk beds each, plus a center room with a large bed (ideal, no doubt, for scouting purposes). The cabins are heated by thermostat and there are a few electrical outlets, but no other amenities that I was aware of. The main cabin had a large center fire pit that made the whole place wonderfully cozy. Also included are several long tables with benches to sit at, as well as additional chairs with backs to gather around the firepit. There are electrical outlets too. Flooring was a mix of wood and tile. There are also restrooms nearby, which include toilets, sinks, and showers. Separated by gender, male and female. The designated parking lot for the Group Site was able to accommodate around 40-45 cars, which served our purposes well. There is also a small roundabout that leads up to the main cabin for ease of unpacking/dropping off gear. All these amenities made the long-weekend very enjoyable! This isn't a huge park by any means, but even in the icy snow, I was able to enjoy a few of the trails while there. The alphabetical trail markings confused me a bit at first, but then I realized it was how the park was indicating "you are here" without customizing each sign. At the trailheads are large informational signs that give you the distance, difficulty, and features you'll see on said trail. The river that cuts through here is really gorgeous. It was partially frozen over during our visit, and we got some flurries while we were camping, which covered everything in a beautiful fresh coat of white powder. Got some great photos and great memories. I was a bit bummed that the Nature Store wasn't open (it's seasonal), because I am a sucker for souvenirs on sightseeing trips to parks and such.

Located in the middle of BW Riverfront Hotel, an unusual spot for a "mini water park" but anything to keep my little miss wants to be a fish swimming and happy. It's free to guests of the hotel and $7 for non-guests. My oldest and I soaked up the sun in some lawn chairs(free of charge) while my little fish slid down the slide a dozen times, played volleyball with other kids, and waited for the giant bucket of water to dump on her over and over. They also have a pool table if you want something to do outside the water. They don't sell any but you can bring drinks in but no food allowed, don't let the umbrella covered tables fool you. They do have a small room just outside the gate with a few arcade games and a table to eat at. They also have a bathroom with towels, shower, a blow dryer and a mirror. I liked it because it's not crowded, easier to keep an eye on my little fish and they have a life guard on duty maintaining safety on the slide and adding an extra pair of eyes. All in all a nice little spot to go when it's hot. A great place to go when you're in Wisco!

Only one block wide but five blocks long, the park includes a set of tennis courts, baseball field, playground and a large picnic pavilion with a steam locomotive set. The train set is accessible and in very good condition for those who appreciate such things. There isn't an active or obvious decommissioned rail line here so it's interesting that a huge steam locomotive is here on display. The park is in reasonable condition with too much litter and dumping from people who should know better. This was a nice break from exploring the area and in the warmer months, I'm sure the place is packed. [Review 20709 overall - 278 in Wisconsin - 1690 of 2023.]
