Video of Amnicon Falls State Park – Superior, Wisconsin
©2009 John Wanserski for Creative Juice LLC
This 825 acre park near Superior, Wisconsin has a number of beautiful waterfalls and cascades along the Amnicon River. A half billion years ago earthquakes along the Douglas Fault caused lava flows across the region. Ancient seas deposited sandstone over the underlying lava before the earthquakes. Since the last glaciers past here the sandstone has been eroding down to the basalt bedrock. The result along the Douglas Fault line has been a series of waterfalls that are the main features of the park. A small brownstone quarry in the park operated for about 20 years in the 1880s. Trout, walleye and smelt travel up the Amnicon River in the spring to spawn. Coho and Chinook salmon spawn during the fall. There are 36 primitive campsites with no showers. About 1.8 miles of trails cover both sides of the river and cross through a picturesque covered bridge. Music downloaded from Garageband.com. Other music by Malignant Choir and Paul Ehlers c 2009.

Video of Rib Mountain State Park – Wausau, Wisconsin
Rib Mountain rises 650 feet above the central Wisconsin flatlands. At 1,924 feet, Rib Mountain is Wisconsin’s third highest point (Timm’s Hill is the highest point, 1,951 ft.). The 1,460 acre park covers much of a monadnock (an isolated hill that rises abruptly from the surrounding plain) formed out of 1.7 billion year old metamorphic quartzite rock The Chippewa Indians called it O-pic-wun-a-se-be. The first part of the word means rib. In the 1890s the rock was mined to make sandpaper. The area became a park in 1927. The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) built trails, a campground and gazebo in the 1930s. The downhill ski runs also opened in the 1930s. There are 30 campsites and showers.
