- Mill Bluff State Park
Rocky bluffs rise high above a dense forest at Mill Bluff State Park, a rugged anomaly in the central Wisconsin landscape. More than 12,000 years ago, these jagged rocks were islands in a prehistoric lake that formed at the end of the last Ice Age. Today, they're a hotspot for outdoor recreation — explore the bluffs on foot, by snowshoe, or on cross-country skis. A spring-fed pond creates a cool swimming hole, and the breezy, forested campground is made for relaxation. Since Mill Bluff is less than three hours from all of Wisconsin's major cities, including Madison, Milwaukee, and Fort McCoy, it's easy to reach for a weekend trip or a longer getaway.
