Brigham County Park is located just northeast of the Village of Blue Mounds on County Highway F. This 232-acre park is named after Ebenezer Brigham, one of the first settlers in this area. The park provides a panoramic view of the Wisconsin River Valley.
Park features include a group camp area, a year round 23 unit rustic campground, two shelter facilities, picnic area, play equipment, nature trail through a maple woods, and hiking trails that connect to Blue Mounds State Park. The Brigham Trail, a 1.3 mile paved shared-use trail, also goes through the park and connects to the Military Ridge State Trail and Cave of the Mounds National Natural Landmark. Shelter#2 is a timber frame structure that was built in 2015 with wood from trees that were harvested at Dane County Parks properties. Across from Brigham County Park is the County’s 107-acre Blue Mounds Wildlife Area that offers public hunting opportunities and other activities such as hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing(ungroomed trails), and wildlife observation.

Great place to take the little ones. Great views for the adults, playground, (level/easy) trails, camping and shelters for gatherings. Seriously, some of the best views in (near) Dane County - had no idea we had such high ground here.
Love this park and the wonderful paved trail that links it to the Military Ridge trail
Nice camp ground, most sites wooded. Peaceful woodland and prarie walks.
Brigham County Park, in Dane County WI, west of Madison, and near Mt Horeb & Cave of the Mounds in Wisconsin's Driftless Area has always been my favorite county park in the USA since discovering it as a university student around 1970. It has a small campground, picnic area and even smaller playground. On a clear day, the views to the north into the Wisconsin River valley are stunning, and even better during autumn. Nearby areas are filled with contour-plowed and planted corn fields, dairy farms and other spectacular sights. It's a great basecamp for visiting Cave of the Mounds, Bluemound State Park, House on the Rock, Epic Intergalactic Headquarters, Taliesin and so much more by car.
The park has a small campground. It’s a very quiet location. The pit toilets are well maintained and clean. There are a couple of walking paths you can access from the park. One of them leads to Cave of the Mounds which is only a mile away.
