Not for the faint of heart, this state park is perfect for the true nature lovers. The DNR has left this park predominantly untouched so it can be a natural refuge for birds, bugs, beavers, native plants, and more. Because of that, anyone who visits should be ready for minimal trails. Please leave no trace from your visit. This is public hunting land. Be aware of current hunting seasons and don your hunter orange when necessary.
