Tower Hill State Park

"I love Wisconsin State Parks, and while this one has some neat history, it was by far the least maintained park I’ve been to. The trails had multiple fallen trees in the direct path, the steep steps were loose (you could feel the rock move under you), and the fencing around most of the park was broken and badly needing repair - even at locations where they are needed most. This place is a hazard, especially for younger children and people with mobility issues. Finally, there is a historical marker from 1925 celebrating the fact that some U.S. generals pursued Indians in that location… maybe about time to remove that!"

"Was a great date park! Came here with my family this weekend and it was very nice, clean, family friendly and had some beautiful hikes with gorgeous overlooks, the camp sites were also very spacious! Definitely recommend"

"Tower Hill State Park is a beautiful place to visit. It is nestled in the heart of Wisconsin's Driftless Area. Tower Hill overlooks the meandering Wisconsin River and has long been a popular site for picnics and bird watching. It is also a great place to explore the history of the area. Tower Hill is home to a shot tower, which was used to fire lead shot for hunting and fishing. The shot tower is about 30 feet tall and dates back to 1848. You can also take a short walk along the bluff, which overlooks the river. Some trails are closed and in disrepair. Camping. Kayaking. Fishing. Hiking."

"This is a really enjoyable experience. Moderate hiking trails with elevations that after a rain could prove to be difficult from washing away. Excellent scenery once getting to the top. The cave hike is worthy of the return hike up the hill. There is tent camping and a reservable enclosed pavilion, all of which would be an excellent way to spend a weekend here. No electricity or water is available at campsites but that should never be a deterrent."

"Great little state park that I'm guessing is very overlooked by many people given all the attractions near by. Course this little state park also has a very interesting attraction that you definitely don't see just anywhere, a shot making tower, which is very high up and has a tunnel at the bottom you can hike into and check out which is a very unique experience you don't find just anywhere. On the flip side though, it's not a very long hike but the shortest route requires a hike up hill to the top as well as stairs and the same is true for the second section from the top, and unfortunately the trail is currently closed from the second section to the bottom so you have to hike down to the bottom and around to see the tunnel or take the river if you have a canoe or kayak, but it's worth the trip I thought."
