2024-06-04: I was recently made aware via my social media feed that I didn’t have Lizard Mound State Park listed. Appears this was previously a county park and now elevated? Not sure. Some other properties also listed on the WI DNR Find a Park site that has also been recently renewed. Looks like I need to update my list!
