After a rousing game of something resembling pretend tennis we continued on our hike. There is so much history in this state park, including a previous girl's camp, a lighthouse built in 1868, German POWs working to cut lumber and build viewing towers, and winter activities including snoshoeing and cross country skiing, there is something for everyone. The Northern Sky Theater is located within the park as well as a golf course. One could spend days here, don't miss Nicolet Beach, it's great! Unfortunately, the viewing tower was out of order as it was deemed unsafe and needed to be rebuilt. Once it is rebuilt, visit! It's the best view in the county! Next stop, Rock Island State Park!
Another favorite of ours....a bit of family history...Ira worked as the park naturalist for several years and we actually lived in the park during the summer of 1970 & 1971. I worked in the office two summers in Fish Creek checking in campers. Love this park, too....
