The 64 foot observation tower is closed. This fact is not shared with you until you climb the 400 foot hill. This time of year, nether the snow nor foliage can hide the litter. It is a dump. This place does not live up to the standard set by the other state parks. Do yourself a favor and drive up the road to either Gov. Dodge or Blue Mounds state park.
The tower was closed a few years ago after too many people were jumping off the tower and committing suicide. A sad fact. Also lots of trash was being tossed off the top of the tower. The road to the top was also closed to discourage people from going to the top of the mound. You can still hike the road but that's about it. Many of the trails that used to go to the top and also around the base of the mound have also become overgrown. Despite all this a nice new restroom building was built a couple years ago.
Nice little state park that is maintained by the local Lions Club. Nice trails, but we miss being able to use the lookout tower.
I generally enjoy going to this park for walks and to relax. It is generally very quiet, a good place to have a picnic, and it's even kid friendly with the medium-large jungle gym that they have there.
This park needs some work but still nice for hiking.
