Rocky Arbor State Park
A small state park on the edge of the Dells, where a roughly 1.6 km loop trail winds through pines along the sandstone cliffs of an old river channel, cool and peaceful.
Rocky Arbor State Park preserves a section of an ancient channel of the Wisconsin River. The sandstone cliffs show clear marks left by flowing water, and white pine and red pine grow at the base of the cliffs. The loop trail is gentle, which makes it good for a walk after a meal or for families who want to escape the theme-park crowds. The park has a campground and is one of the quietest outdoor spots near downtown Dells. A state park vehicle pass is required.
