This spot is the location of the Camp Interstate shelter and former site of the Interstate Civilian Conservation Corps (1935-1940). The CCC built many of the old stone buildings and other infrastructure you see in this park. The shelter here can accommodate a large group, and there is a good size open space nearby. There is also a great blue heron rookery near this spot. It can be especially interesting to watch them when they arrive in the spring.
Cache is regular size with good parking nearby. There is also access to the Dalles Trail near this spot. Please rehide well.
Daily or yearly park sticker required. Park hours are 6am-11pm.
Have fun!

About Interstate State Park
Interstate is Wisconsin's oldest state park, established in 1900. Located along the picturesque St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, the park provides scenic views of the river and the steep-sided gorge known as the Dalles of the St. Croix. The Ice Age Interpretive Center features a film, photographs, murals, and information about the great glaciers. There are over 9 miles of hiking trails in the park, many which take you through scenic State Natural Areas.
The Geocache Notification Form has been submitted to the park manager at Interstate State Park. Geocaches placed on Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources managed lands require permission by means of a notification form. Please print out a paper copy of the notification form, fill in all required information, then submit it to the land manager. The DNR Notification form and land manager information can be obtained at the Wisconsin DNR website.
