Story

Roche-a-Cri State Park is a state park north of Adams and Friendship in central Wisconsin. The park, 605acre in area, was established in 1948.The park features a 300ft rock outcropping with Native American petroglyphs—the Roche-a-Cri Petroglyphs—and a wooden stairway to the top, as well as more than 5mi of hiking trails.Natural HistoryThe striking 300ft bluff is a hard core that remains from a larger sheet of Cambrian sandstone which has mostly eroded away. Around 19,000 to 15,000 years ago it was an island rising above Glacial Lake Wisconsin. On top of the bluff grow red oak, black oak, white oak, red pine, white pine, and jack pine. Buzzards also haunt the top.

Experience Wisconsin's natural beauty! Hiking trails, bike trails, natural prairie, and climbing the bluff are all things that can be done here. Great for a day get away, just a few minutes outside of Friendship, WI.

Beautiful park! Great trails and steps to the top of the bluff! I am thankful for everyone that worked on and provided resources for this park!

I took my 2 year old here for a hike. An hour later, she was tired so we headed back to my car. I had a ticket under my wiper! Apparently Adams County park stickers are good at any park BUT this one. The camp host who explained this to me was rude & treated me like a criminal. I won't make that mistake again and I won't be back either. My daughter and I can find other activities to do at $14 a day (an hour for us). Had I been treated differently, I may have felt differently.

This had an older State Park feel. The petroglyphs were a little disappointing. But after a thousand years in the Sun and weather I guess it's understandable. The hike to the top of the mound was incredible, but challenging.
