Back on the hunt for waterfalls at Rock Dam County Park & Campground near the remote small town of Willard, Wisconsin. According to my notes this should be accessible through the campground. Nobody was available that day so I went around to Rock Cut Dam first to check for public access. Some excellent views of … Read more
Another quick stop for my checklist at Eau Galle Spillway. Not really interested much in man-made “waterfalls” but since I wasn’t far away I decided to make the drive just for laughs. Access is very easy via Eau Galle Park which is just a small roadside stop that time has forgotten and looks to be … Read more
Due to some trails being closed at Big Bay State Park I was left extra time to explore La Pointe, Wisconsin on Madeline Island. Sharing everything in one post for lack of a better place to put these odds & ends. First step to visiting the island is actually getting there via the ferry that … Read more
Bit of a late start this morning (had to move campsites, was the only way I could get a last minute reservation) but sometime around 10am I was on the trail. Agenda for the morning was to hike Bay View and Point Trails looping back to the campground. I started from camp towards the Bay … Read more
Shifting gears during the midpoint of this road trip and floating my car & camping gear to Big Bay State Park on Madeline Island. I was getting cranky from all the driving so my first action item was to stretch out my legs and hike the Boardwalk Trail. Originally I was going to make a … Read more
Home base for the past couple of days has been Copper Falls State Park. I skipped them on this trip in favor of other destinations (see old posts here, don’t skip these if you’ve never visited before) but the weather did give me an opportunity for some fantastic night photography. Clear Sky Charts confirm this … Read more
Plans today went sideways in a hurry. Intended to camp at Beaver Lake near Marengo but the black flies were overwhelming. Spent lots of time driving in search of campsites and ended up at Copper Falls State Park ecstatic they had one open site left. Rain would take over in the evening but I’ll save … Read more
Sleep was paused for my final night at Lost Lake Campground in Tipler, Wisconsin. Night skies were cooperative and outer space was revealing her secrets. Views from the camp beach with a beer in hand – pretty hard to beat. While the naked-eye views were spectacular, sadly my camera shots were blocked by the wispy … Read more
Basecamp for the next several days is at Lost Lake Recreation Area campground. This is a small site in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest that sits on an 86-acre lake and is a fantastic spot for a quiet family vacation. I didn’t have much time left today so I did the only thing that seemed reasonable: … Read more
Spent one quick night camping at Hartman Creek State Park. Mosquitoes were very hungry so I skipped hiking on this trip and instead decided to paddle the small and tranquil Allen Lake. Not much to share other than a short hyperlapse video from the GoPro Hero 7 Black (today was my first day using it … Read more
