Blue Mound State Park

The Winnebago Indians called this highest point in southern Wisconsin "Weehaukaja", meaning "a high place with a wonderful view." There are two 40 ft. observation towers offering a commanding view in all directions. At 1,716 feet above sea level, you will have clear views of the state capitol in Madison, 25 miles away. The park has the only heated swimming pool in the Wisconsin park system. The campground is open year round, has 77 sites (16 with electricity), and a rustic accessible cabin. This 1,100 acre park has three trails designated as hiking-only. The park has 6 miles of off-road bicycle trails. Access is also provided to the 40-mile Military Ridge State Trail that runs from Governor Dodge State Park, through Blue Mound State Park and on to Madison. Slideshow by John Wanserski.

Seriously, who disliked this? I just wanted to thank you jjwanser for all of your great videos here on YouTube. Before I make camping reservations, I always watch your video of the park first, and try to pick out a good site :)

I love Blue Mound.

It is beautiful.

We mainly camp in Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest.
