I am seldom without wifi or cell service, but this was the case for Council Grounds State Park. The name comes from the park's reputation as a location in which Native American leaders used the river to reach a common location for a meeting and social gathering. Both state parks we enjoyed were located on man-made lakes / rivers that were created years ago to drive small hydroelectric generating stations.
We spend a lot of time at our lake place in the woods of Wisconsin, but these parks offer some new experiences. The trails here were a great experience and I was able to get some unique photos.
Even though we are familiar with the general area and spend time in the woods parks offer some unique experiences. The northern woods of Minnesota and Wisconsin were early an opportunity of lumber barons. Logging is till a big deal, but the trees that were the basis for the early logging are mostly gone or at least not as common and certainly not as large. The parks have some large white pines.
Our trip is over and it was short by our usual standards. It was nice to be able to spend some time in the rPod and we hope next season will allow some longer adventures. Here are a few random images to end.
