Big Foot Beach State Park

Big Foot Beach State Park is a recreational area featuring sandy shores and wooded paths along Lake Geneva. The grounds include hiking trails, swimming areas, picnic spots, and camping facilities distributed throughout the property.

This park was established in 1949 by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to provide public access to recreation on the lake. Its creation was part of a broader effort to make natural areas in the region available to residents.

The park serves as a gathering place where people come to swim, hike, and spend time with family along the water's edge during warm months. These everyday activities shape how the community uses the land for relaxation and connection with nature.

The park is easily accessible from nearby highways with ample parking at the main entrance on South Lake Shore Drive. Conditions are best during warmer months when all facilities are fully operational for visitors.

The park features both sandy and rocky shorelines, offering different experiences for swimming and exploring. This variety of coastal landscape is less common in the Lake Geneva area and attracts different types of visitors.
