About Copper Falls State Park

Copper Falls State Park showcases some of Wisconsin’s most unique landscapes, with ancient lava flows, deep gorges and scenic waterfalls surrounded by Northwoods forest. Visitors can explore the park’s natural beauty along the 1.7-mile Doughboy’s Nature Trail, which follows the Bad River past waterfalls and overlooks, or take in views from the scenic overlook above an 80-foot-deep gorge.

The park also offers opportunities for camping, fishing, mountain biking and swimming at Loon Lake. Historic log buildings built by the Civilian Conservation Corps provide a glimpse into its past. With its mix of geology, outdoor recreation and history, Copper Falls State Park is a memorable stop for anyone exploring northern Wisconsin.

Show off your selfie skills! Find a selfie stand located near Copper Falls on the Doughboy Trail and stop for a fun photo. Share yours with us on Instagram using #ScenicWisconsin.
