Some of the best scenery in southern Wisconsin can be found in Blue Mounds State Park. Wild and rugged woodland trails take hikers to some gorgeous spots. If you’re willing to do a little climbing, you’ll pass clear streams, delicate wildflowers, and views that are simply incredible. There are a lot of great trails in the Wisconsin park that will take you to some of these sights, but one of the most popular hikes is the Flint Rock Nature Trail. It’s a lovely little trail that ends with a spectacular tower view. Here’s what you can experience on the trail.
Blue Mounds State Park has over 20 miles of trails for hiking, off-road biking and cross-country skiing so there’s a lot more to explore. It’s open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., year-round. Not far from the park, you’ll find another great natural attraction – the incredible Cave of the Mounds, a place you must see before you die.
