“let the people fish!”
This park northeast of Chippewa Falls has 1,062 acres of primarily young, rich forests and open prairie on a 6,300-acre manmade lake. The park offers secluded campsites, hiking trails, and a 285-foot swimming beach.The lake was created in 1918 when the Wisconsin-Minnesota Power and Light Company built a dam on the Chippewa River. The region's early history goes back more than 150 years to 1836, when Frenchman Jean Brunet built the region's first sawmill at the falls of the Chippewa River. Within a year it was ranked as one of the world's largest sawmills. The Chippewa long since has been harnessed to provide electrical power.Pine forests, mixed hardwood timbers, prairie, and marshes are found in the park. The park has a permanent fishing pier especially designed to provide easy access for anglers with disabilities.

We've camped here twice now and really enjoy it here. The majority of sites are very private and spacious. Camper pads seem to be quite level also. Public bathrooms are a little dated and there is no camp host on site. There is a walking trail that follows Lake Wissota and is a beautiful walk.

Clean well spaced sites provide an uncrowded atmosphere even though its full. Pet friendly with 30 and 50 amp electrical ped. Somewhat noisy during the day,( lots of youngsters)but only the sound of crickets after dark. Very family friendly. Didn't use the facilities because I'm self contained, although I'll use the dump station on my way out tomorrow.

I would definitely stay here again! Nice campsites for tents, site 35 was a little rocky under the ground so it was somewhat difficult to get the stakes in but we did get them. Clean bathrooms besides the spider webs everywhere. There are also showers. There are plenty of walking trails around the campsites. A little loud at early hours of the night but not bad.
