Lost Dauphin Park

Lost Dauphin Park is a public green space of about 19 acres next to the Fox River, featuring walking paths, benches, and picnic areas for visitors. Stone building foundations from the 1800s sit among the grounds, marking the site of a former residence on the property.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources designated this site as a state park in 1947, though it later withdrew that status during the 1970s. The land connects to Eleazer Williams, who claimed in the 1850s to be the Lost Dauphin of France.

The grounds contain the flagstone foundation of Eleazer Williams' former residence, who made claims about being the Lost Dauphin in the 1850s.

The park sits along Brown County Highway D and is easy to reach by car, with no entry fee required. Visitors will find parking areas, open shelters, and play equipment scattered throughout the grounds for families and groups.

The park maintains its original stone foundations from the nineteenth century while offering modern amenities such as swings and river observation points.
