Nerstrand Big Woods State Park, Nerstrand

Did the hike to Hidden Falls. It was downhill either way which in turn meant uphill on the way back. You can go straight on the path instead of turning through the campground. That is just to make it a loop. If you go through the campground it is downhill on dirt and some rocks and if you take the dirt path straight down you will hit a boardwalk with steps for part of the downhill. It was not too steep and there were educational posts you could stop and read. There were some maps along the trail as well in case you wanted to hop on another trail. Good signage and easy to follow

Great campground. Lots of trees even though the campsites are close to each other. No camp store. Nature center was only open Friday-Sunday but it was end of the season. Firewood is $6 for a nice bundle and honor system for paying. Playground was nice and an easy walk from campsites. Not a big park but quiet and close to Northfield.
