Background

This property was acquired by the Pierce County Land Management Committee through a park land dedication associated with a neighboring land division. The majority of this property is river bottom with over 750 feet of river frontage. Pierce County partnered with the Wisconsin DVR to install trout habitat structures along the river. The park opened in the spring of 2009.
