Blue Mound State Park is located atop the largest hill in the southern half of the state. The 1,153-acre (467 ha) park features a pair of observation towers affording views of the Wisconsin River valley and Baraboo to the north, the mounds, buttes and rolling forests of the driftless area to the south and west and the young blacial plains and city of Madison to the east.
The park contains a large open field, a swimming pool (the only one in a Wisconsin state park), shelters, campsites and many miles of trails for hiking, biking, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. There is a nature center by the picnic area with natural history exhibits. Naturalists offer programs in the summer. The Military Ridge state trail, which follows the natural east-west contour of the ridgeline from Fitchburg to Dodgeville, abuts on the southern edge of the park. The park is also used as the finish line for the Horribly Hilly Hundreds bicycle challenge ride.
And...Blue Mound state park is now the host of the 2023 WGA Fall Campout!
