Wyalusing State Park
Wyalusing State Park, State park and National Natural Landmark in Grant County, Wisconsin.
Wyalusing State Park extends across 2,628 acres where the Wisconsin River joins the Mississippi River, featuring 500-foot-high limestone bluffs and diverse forest zones.
The park, established in 1917 as Nelson Dewey State Park and renamed in 1937, contains Native American burial mounds dating back to prehistoric periods.
The name originates from the Lenape language meaning 'home of the warrior', reflecting the presence of Munsee-Delaware tribes in the 19th century.
The park maintains 14 miles of hiking trails, two campgrounds with 114 sites, and specific areas for fishing, canoeing, and cross-country skiing.
The Lawrence L. Huser Astronomy Center houses a 16-inch telescope for stargazing programs, while a monument commemorates the extinct passenger pigeon species.
