While there are many incredible state and national parks, there are local parks that are true treasures. In the rural beauty of Marinette County, McClintock County Park is a gorgeous park that’s worth seeking out. Its tumbling rapids form pretty little waterfalls, its woodland paths provide a quiet little escape, and its scenic wooden bridges offer the perfect view. Ready for a trip to somewhere special in Wisconsin? Here’s what you need to know about McClintock County Park.

Marinette County is called the "Waterfall Capital of Wisconsin" due to the abundance of waterfalls found within its borders. Some well-known waterfalls in the county include Long Slide Falls, Twelve Foot Falls, and Dave's Falls.
