About Governor Dodge State Park

Named for Henry Dodge, the first governor of the Wisconsin Territory, this 5,270-acre park sits within the Driftless Area, a region that escaped glacial flattening and retains its uneven, carved terrain. That geologic history shows up directly in the park's landscape, with formations tied to the unglaciated land shaping the ground visitors walk on. At over 5,000 acres, it ranks among the larger state parks in Wisconsin.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
