Perched atop the highest point in southern Wisconsin, Blue Mound State Park offers spectacular views, unique geological features, and a wide range of year-round outdoor activities. Visitors can enjoy over 20 miles of scenic hiking, off-road biking, and cross-country ski trails, plus a summer swimming pool—the only one in a Wisconsin state park. The park also features a family campground, a rustic cabin for people with disabilities, bike-in campsites with access to the Military Ridge State Trail, and a pet-friendly environment. With 500 feet of elevation to explore, Blue Mound is a favorite destination for adventurers year-round.

Show off your selfie skills! Find a selfie stand located on the East Observation Tower in the picnic area and stop for a fun photo. Share yours with us on Instagram using #ScenicWisconsin.
