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.

The 3,740 acre Wildcat Mountain State Park is in the driftless, unglaciated area of western Wisconsin. Flowing alongside the park is the paddler friendly, Kickapoo River. “Kickapoo” comes from the Algonquin Indians, meaning “he who goes there, then here.” The Kickapoo River meanders for 125 miles over 65 miles of distance. Views of the River valley below, from the mountain top lookouts, are spectacular. There are 30 family campsites, with some on the mountain’s edge. The three group campsites can accommodate up to 75 people. A separate campground for equestrians is in the northern part of the park. It has 24 sites and 15 miles of trails.
