Video of Council Grounds State Park and Campground
This 508 acre park along the Wisconsin River in north-central Wisconsin has been used by humans for centuries. Some park artifacts date back to around 600 AD. Native American Chippewas met for celebrations here beginning around 1600 AD. In the late 19th century loggers met here to sort the rafted lumber for downstream mills. The park site is beautifully situated with the Lake Alexander flowage on it’s north and the Wisconsin River on it’s west side. Nature trails take you past the park’s impressive stands of White Pine. The 55 family campsites site with showers are in a heavily wooded area near the river and lake. This video includes the group campground.
