  • By Betty C
    The trail is very steep and slippery so make sure you have good shoes. We paced ourselves slowly and let people pass. It was definitely worth the hike. The scenery at balanced rock is stunning.  more »

    Great rainy day stop. 3 good sized samples for $11 plus some delicious snacks. Will be back to sit outside. 2 snacks enough for 4 people. Ordered Pesto pizza and veggie/hummus plate  more »

  • By Gabriel Cardenas
    Best park in Wisconsin. Swimming, hiking, running or rock climbing. Great to spend a weekend here.
  • By Carina Reyes
    Worth the hike. Gorgeous lake backdrop. Can easily get missed because no signs point to it. Easy to get confused with signs pointing to balanced rock trail and no final signs to balanced rock. However as you climb down or up to it, there’s a junction sign to go up to east bluff going up and balanced rock going down. Look up the mtn to the right. Right on top of plateau with a rock like a giant U. Head there. Take cool pics
