Wildcat Mountain State Park

The 3,740 acre Wildcat Mountain State Park is in the driftless, unglaciated area of western Wisconsin. Flowing alongside the park is the paddler friendly, Kickapoo River. "Kickapoo" comes from the Algonquin Indians, meaning "he who goes there, then here." The Kickapoo River meanders for 125 miles over 65 miles of distance. Views from the mountain top lookouts to the valley below, are spectacular. There are 30 family campsites, with some on the mountain's edge. The three group campsites can accommodate up to 75 people. A separate campground for equestrians is in the northern part of the park. It has 24 sites and 15 miles of trails. Slide show by John Wanserski.

Glad to revisit Wildcat Mtn and the Kickapoo Valley via your video. My son and I spent an overnight and a day there some years back then canoed the Kickapoo River. This is one of the most interesting areas in Wisconsin due to its significantly different terrain.

I heard the area may be haunted and some lost gold might be hidden nearby.
