Observation towers are at the far east and far west ends of the picnic area. Each tower is 40 feet high and equipped with a landmark locator to help pinpoint the location of various cities and geologic features. At the top of the towers, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside hundreds of feet below. Enjoy the view of the Lower Wisconsin Riverway, Baraboo Bluffs and the gentle rolling countyside as far as the eye can see.

Vistas have been cut through the trees on the north side of the picnic area, near the towers for those who cannot climb the observation towers, These also offer panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

Play equipment and sandboxes are in the picnic area near the shelters and in the campground.

A horseshoe court is on the north side of the main shelter. Bring your own horseshoes.
