From the west, take U.S. Highway 14 to Spring Green. Turn right (south) on State Highway 23 and go about 2.5 miles to County Highway C. Turn left (east) and go about .7 miles. The park entrance will be on your left. From the east, take U.S. Highway 14 west of Arena about 4.7 miles to County Highway CC. Turn left on Highway C and go about 1.8 miles. The park entrance will be on your right.
This is a really enjoyable experience. Moderate hiking trails with elevations that after a rain could prove to be difficult from washing away. Excellent scenery once getting to the top. The cave hike is worthy of the return hike up the hill. There is tent camping and a reservable enclosed pavilion, all of which would be an excellent way to spend a weekend here. No electricity or water is available at campsites but that should never be a deterrent.
Great little state park that I'm guessing is very overlooked by many people given all the attractions near by. Course this little state park also has a very interesting attraction that you definitely don't see just anywhere, a shot making tower, which is very high up and has a tunnel at the bottom you can hike into and check out which is a very unique experience you don't find just anywhere. On the flip side though, it's not a very long hike but the shortest route requires a hike up hill to the top as well as stairs and the same is true for the second section from the top, and unfortunately the trail is currently closed from the second section to the bottom so you have to hike down to the bottom and around to see the tunnel or take the river if you have a canoe or kayak, but it's worth the trip I thought.
Love going here since its close, cute little park, only gave it a 4 because there's not much hiking since it's so small. Great picnic spot and some cool historical sites and information.
Was a great date park! Came here with my family this weekend and it was very nice, clean, family friendly and had some beautiful hikes with gorgeous overlooks, the camp sites were also very spacious! Definitely recommend
