Governor Dodge State Park, Dodgeville

Oh Man where do I start? This Park is beyond AWESOME! First of all there are two nice lakes, Cox Hollow Lake and Twin Valley Lake! They are Beautiful Lakes pretty clear! They are man made and also they are No Wake! That means that boats can not go fast so as a swimmer I love that!! The beaches are gorgeous and super soft sand! Second The campsites are awesome and huge! They feel very homey except if you sleep in a tent the Gravel is not really that comfortable. But other than that Nice huge fire pits! Finally This park also has really awesome concessions stands at Cox Hollow Lake! The food is Awesome yummy!! ~ Lakegirl Crystal

Its amazing here! I have been here years after years, and never been disappointed. What makes this place great is the amount of beautiful hiking trails. The beach is also nice, however there are not many things to do while in the water. Every year it rains for us, but thats just the normal when ever you visit. If camping, this place is much easier to take kids (though still a challenge) the campsites are not near any busy roads. I had a great experience.
