Video of Lake Kegonsa State Park Campground- Stoughton, Wisconsin
Lake Kegonsa State Park, established in 1962, is a 342 acre park on the shores of a 3,200 acre lake. The lake has excellent fishing for northerns and panfish. The lake was formed from glacial debris that dammed parts of what is believed to be an old river valley called the “Ancient Wisconsin River”. About 12,000 years ago the 4-Lakes of the Madison Area were formed: Lakes Mendota, Monona, Waubesa, and Kegonsa. Lake Kegonsa, from the Ho-Chunk word meaning “Lakes of Many Fishes”, was referred to by early settlers as “First Lake”. A hiking trail near the family campground leads to a few effigy mounds built by Woodland Indians. There are 80 family campsites, three group campsites, two picnic shelters, fishing pier, boat launch, swimming beach, and a pet swim area. This video includes the family campground.

Video of Mirror Lake State Park, Bluewater Bay Campground – Lake Delton, Wisconsin
Mirror Lake was formed by the old mill dam on Dell Creek near Lake Delton in 1860. Dell Creek is within the non-glaciated, or what is known as the driftless area of Wisconsin. Sandstone was formed from river deposits into shallow seas about 500,000,000 years ago, during the Late Cambrian geologic period. The rock outcroppings of Mirror Lake’s gorges are formed from weathered sandstone. Over the last 10,000 years Dell Creek cut gorges into the thick, soft sandstone rock. This 2,050 acre park lies within three miles of Wisconsin Dells and draws more than 200,000 visitors a year. The park has many miles of trails for hiking, cross-country skiing, mountain biking and nature viewing. The no-wake lake is ideal for canoeing and kayaking. There are 151 family campsites in three campgrounds, seven walk-in group sites for tents only, an accessible cabin for people with disabilities and a unique rental cottage designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
