DNR’s Free Fun Weekend

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources invites the public to participate in the annual Free Fun Weekend.

Late October

FoCGSP Candlelight Walk

In Late October, Council Grounds State Park will host a Fall Candle Light Walk. The walk will start and end at the beach picnic area. There will be two choices, a shorter more paved walk and a longer trail walk. The walk routes will be determined just before the hike depending on trail conditions. Members of the FoCGSP will be providing a warming fire, light snacks and water. Winning photos from this years contest will be on display along with a poster about the Friends and membership brochures. Park vehicle admission stickers are required, day passes may be purchased at the entrance. Dress to keep warm and dry, car-pool and bring a flashlight !
