Camping at Wyalusing, Blog post #1

August 6^th thru the 9^th, we took our second and final camping trip of the year. We drove all the way to the far southwest corner of the state to Wyalusing State Park. 

The park sits on 2,700-acres overlooking the confluence of the Wisconsin and Mississippi Rivers. It is one of the oldest Wisconsin State Parks, having been established in 1917.

Views from the bluffs above the two rivers are breath-taking. There are also miles of hiking trails, but with my back still causing me trouble, I wasn’t able to hike any of them. Hopefully, next time. 

Native Americans, fur-traders, miners, and some of the states earliest Europeans all passed through this area and left their influence in one form or another. The Civilian Conversation Corps built roads, trails, and shelters in the park during the Great Depression.

 Overall, Wyalusing is steeped in natural beauty and history.
