Camping at Wyalusing, Blog post #1

August 6th thru the 9th, we tookour second and final camping trip of the year. We drove all the way to the farsouthwest corner of the state to Wyalusing State Park. 

The park sits on 2,700-acres overlooking the confluenceof the Wisconsin and Mississippi Rivers. It is one of the oldest WisconsinState Parks, having been established in 1917.

Views from the bluffs above the two rivers arebreath-taking. There are also miles of hiking trails, but with my back stillcausing me trouble, I wasn’t able to hike any of them. Hopefully, next time. 

Native Americans, fur-traders, miners, and some of thestates earliest Europeans all passed through this area and left their influencein one form or another. The Civilian Conversation Corps built roads, trails,and shelters in the park during the Great Depression.

 Overall, Wyalusing is steeped in natural beauty andhistory.
