Video of Hartman Creek State Park Family Campground, Sites 1-50 – Waupaca, Wisconsin
The 1,417 acre Hartman Creek State Park has four quiet spring fed lakes and 10 miles of scenic trails to explore. There is a swimming beach on Hartman Lake. There are no developed boat landings so paddlers will need to carry in their water crafts to access the lakes. Anglers can fish the lakes for panfish, northerns and bass or trout fish in the adjoining Radley Creek Fishery Area. Four area bike trails are also accessible from the park. Part of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail runs though the park and can be hiked through parts of Waupaca and Portage counties. The 100 unit family campground with showers also has a tipi that can be reserved. The 5 areas for group camping have plenty of space for large groups. The park is next door to four lakes that give motor boat access to the extensive Waupaca Chain O’Lakes. Music copyright 2008 by Maury Smith.

Video of Roche-A-Cri State Park Campground – Friendship, Wisconsin
Roche-A-Cri (means shouting or whooping rock) or crevice in the rock as the French explorers called it, is a 300 foot sandstone bluff near Adams-Friendship, Wisconsin. The park, established in 1948, has viewable Native American petroglyphs and pictographs discovered in 1851, but were written a thousand years ago. Roche-A-Cri is made of Cambrian sandstone about 500,000 years old. It is a long narrow flat-topped ridge bordered by shear precipices. The bluff was once an island in the 1,800 square mile Glacial Lake Wisconsin. In 1994 a Wisconsin Conservation Corps group finished a 303 step stairway to the top of the bluff. The 605 acre park has a number of soft trails strewn with pine needles that are all linked to the 41 site shower-less campground. One leads to a prairie restoration project, crossing over a foot bridge on Carter Creek, a picturesque trout creek. All 41 campsites are included in this video. Music copyright 2008 by Maury Smith.

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.
