About Nelson Dewey State Park

Once part of the Stonefield estate belonging to Nelson Dewey, Wisconsin's first governor, this land became a 756-acre state park along the Mississippi River. The site preserves that connection to Dewey's home grounds while opening the riverside acreage to visitors.

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