These are just a few of the images of Wisconsin's fantastic natural resources captured and preserved for over a century through the Wisconsin State Park System. We have balanced public access with resource conservation and created a state park system that today stands as one of the finest in the nation. We're proud of our state parks and trails, and the many possibilities they offer families who want to camp, hike, swim or simply relax in Wisconsin's great outdoors. For years, my wife, Tonette, and our family have taken advantage of the recreational opportunities available at our state parks and created lifelong memories. More than 14 million people visit one of our state park properties each year. With more than 100 locations statewide, a connection to the woods, waters and prairies of Wisconsin is always close at hand. I invite you to enjoy our great parks and join us in caring for the land.
