Tower Hill State Park sits above the Wisconsin River at Spring Green and offers campsites, nature and hiking trails, and picnicking facilities. The upland forests, a wide variety of plants, shrubs, birds, and animals, and a 175-foot Cambrian sandstone cliff make the park attractive for those who enjoy natural settings.
The location is the site of the lead region village of Helena and the place where Green Bay entrepreneur, Daniel Whitney, and his partners built a tower to make lead shot, hence the park name.
The trail up to the shot tower was rather steep, but not horrible. There is never anything wrong with stopping to catch your breath for a minute or two when climbing a steep trail. Better to stop and rest than get worn out or overheated.
We had lunch at Fort Mulligan’s Grill Pub in Prairie du Chien. (We recommend the reuben and the French dip.)
We then crossed the bridge into Iowa and made a short stop in Marquette.
From there we moved on to Iowa’s Pike’s Peak State Park.
