Pike Lake State Park - Hartford, WI

I'd never been to Pike Lake until this past summer. It has grand hiking trails, some easy, some steep and challenging. They have a beautiful swimming beach, camping, day hikes, and educational park programs that are  fun for the whole family. Great for birding too. I'll be going back this summer for certain.  Tip: wear good hiking shoes.

Location: 3544 Kettle Moraine Rd., Hartford, WI (Washington/Dodge Counties)
