The 2025 WGA Spring Picnic will be held at Wyalusing State Park on Saturday, May 17!
Find us at the Peterson Shelter.
Wyalusing State Park sit on the confluence of the Wisconsin River and the Mississippi River. The park consists of 2,628 acres of woodlands, marshes, prairies, and river ways. The park was originally established as Nelson Dewey State Park in 1917. In 1937 It was renamed as Wyalusing State Park and Nelson Dewey State Park was later reestablished in Cassville, WI. There are two family campgrounds, a group camp and an educational facility. There are over 14 miles of hiking trails, 6 miles of canoe trails or practice astronomy at the observatory.
A daily or annual Wisconsin State Park sticker will be required to enter the park. Buy one here
