The views are spectacular and then in certain times you can ride the lifts up and down, which is a great thing to do in the fall. Walk up and down the hill or even through some of the trails for a nice day of adventure and exercise.
We set out to see fall foliage, hike and explore the Wausau area, and RMSP in particular. Great trails for hiking, and the 60' tower in the park that we climbed gave us outstanding views of the area. There are beautiful paved biking trails in the park too!
This park has many fun trails to explore, the view from the lookout is fabulous, we visited in late fall and are looking forward to returning in the spring, entrance fees are very reasonable.
The first time we visited, we drove up to the park. There is an entrance fee and there are a couple of options. One side of the park has several hiking trails, some more challenging than others (up and down a bit) but none very difficult. There are nice views of the area and of Wausau. It's seems very popular and there is a walking trail up to the park, about 2 miles I think, that is also very popular.
Great skiing and snowboard but it is pricy. Cascade Mountain is close but not many runs. Less expensive
The views were amazing, I walked a lot and was quit a pleasant time. I would recommend to any one who is a out doors person and wants something to do out side in the winter
Beautiful view from the top of the lookout tower. I was there as the leaves were changing & it was georgeous. There were 3 couples a 12 & 4 yr old. They all loved climbing the rock formations, they do have miles of walking trails also. For a few weekends in the fall you can take a ride on the ski lift to look at the fall colors we did not do this. They do have a canteen & gift shop we had some brats & hot chocolates.
a 1 hour pass is 5.00 or 10.00 for the day lots of trails with great views plus a chairlift ride and a little snack shack
As others have said the view is very beautiful especially in Fall when the color is amazing. It is a true delight to see how scenic and beautiful Wisconsin is. Even the city view makes a person give pause and consider living in this gem like area!
I love the fact that you can get out of town and find peace and quiet along with the beauty of nature in a very short distance. There are great hiking trails and lots of beauty. If you take the time to climb the tower you can see for what feels like miles. You can also see into Wausau which is really cool. Even if you just want to get away from the hustle and bustle this is a great place to go. One last thing, they have an area there where you can have weddings and it makes for a wonderful outdoor wedding!! It is a place to go see!
