Nestled just west of Madison, Cross Plains State Park is a true gem near the charming village of Cross Plains! This park showcases an incredible array of glacial landforms, including a stunning gorge shaped by meltwater, and offers breathtaking views of both driftless and glaciated landscapes.

As part of the broader Glacial Passage Area, this beautiful space is managed through a partnership among the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, the National Park Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Dane County Land and Water Resources Department, and the dedicated Ice Age Trail Alliance. It's an inspiring place to explore and connect with nature!
