From the City of Hartford, take State Hwy 60 east, approx 2 miles, to the forest entrance at Hwy 60 and Kettle Moraine Rd. Turn south into the forest.
Fantastic beach. 'Dog beach' really just an opening in the trees for dogs to swim. Picnic area is really big. Campground is very nice.
Very nice State park in the Kettle Moraine chain. Park staff were very friendly and helpful. Park maps are available at the park entrance. We were there for hiking fall colors. The observation tower on powder hill was a pleasant surprise and very popular. Hiking trails are fairly well marked. Wide variety of trail lengths for differant hiking abilities. Fall colors were absolutely beautiful.
Went here on a whim just to get the kids and the dog out of the house. We will definitely return. The hiking was beautiful and the observation tower has amazing views. My kids loved swimming in the lake and my dog loved the dog beach. A perfect place to spend a day!
Absolutely gorgeous state park. The beach is great during the summer and kayak and SUP rentals are available seasonally. The boat launch is new, and they also have a dog beach. There are many trails to choose from for hiking, including part of the Ice Age Trail.
