Pattison State Park, State park with waterfalls in Douglas County, Wisconsin, United States.
The park features Big Manitou Falls, measuring 165 feet in height, alongside hiking trails that wind through dense forest landscapes.
Through a land donation in 1920, Martin Pattison established the park to protect the natural beauty of Big Manitou Falls for future generations.
The park serves as an educational center where rangers conduct programs about local wildlife, plant species, and geological formations throughout the year.
Visitors can access camping areas with modern facilities, picnic grounds, fishing spots, and marked trails for different skill levels.
The waters of Big Manitou Falls cascade over black volcanic basalt rock formations, creating the highest waterfall in Wisconsin.
