Parks & Properties
In addition to White Mound County Park, there are several other Sauk County Parks and boat landings. Scattered across the county, these parks allow access to different lakes, woods, memorials and even an effigy mound.
Click on a park name below, or to the right, to explore it more.
Dedicated to America’s veterans, Douglas Landing provides access to the Baraboo River. The .75 parcel of land was donated by Russell and Pearl Douglas. Russell was a member of the United States Army Air Force during World War II, where he proudly served as a bombsight maintenance technician in the 390th Bomb Groups 569th Squadron.
Hemlock County Park has much to offer in almost 73 acres of property – offering picnic tables, grills and an ADA accessible bathroom. There is an unmarked hiking trail and access to fishing from many spots around the slough, including an ADA fishing pier and a boat ramp to launch a boat (electric motors only). The 22 acre slough provides opportunities to catch northern pike, largemouth bass and panfish. Archery and shotgun hunting are also available in this park. No muzzleloaders are allowed. There is ample parking and no entrance fee is required.
Lake Redstone County Park is located on the south end of Lake Redstone. At approximately 30 acres, this park has a large parking lot that gives access to a playground, beach and waterfall. Lake Redstone County Park is a popular spot to fish for panfish, largemouth bass, musky, northern pike and walleye. A snowmobile trail runs through the park. Bathrooms are provided and an entrance fee is required.
Located northeast of Baraboo, on Man Mound Road, sits Man Mound Park. The land was purchased by the Sauk County Historical Society, the Wisconsin Archeological Society and the Wisconsin Federation of Women’s Clubs in 1907 and dedicated as a park the following year. Man Mound Park is named after the rare, man-shaped effigy mound found on the property, measuring about 214 feet long by 48 feet wide.
At the north end of Lake Redstone, just off of County Road F on LaValle Road, sits the North End Boat Landing. This landing provides a launch for canoes, kayaks and boats to Lake Redstone. Fishing opportunities via the ADA fishing pier include panfish, largemouth bass, northern pike, musky and walleye. A bathroom is provided during the summer months and an entrance fee is required.
With approximately 677 acres of land, the Sauk County Forest has a handful of recreational activities to offer year-round. Sauk County acquired this property through tax delinquency in the 1930’s. The county originally intended to resell this land, but because of serious wind erosion problems, they decided to retain possession of it.
With access to Lake Wisconsin, the Summer Oaks Boat Landing provides ample parking with opportunities to catch smallmouth and largemouth bass, northern pike, walleye, panfish, trout, catfish, musky and sturgeon. This landing also includes a park-and-ride for the snowmobile trail. A bathroom is provided during the summer months and an entrance fee is required.
Timme Mill dam is closed at this time. We are working on repairing the dam. Please call 608-355-4800 with any concerns.
Neighboring with the Dell Creek Wildlife Area (owned by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources), Weidman Woods provides another area to explore nature at approximately 130 acres. 80 acres of Weidman Woods was donated to Sauk County in 1976 by Harvey Weidman, as a memorial to his son, Mark Weidman. Conditions of the donations were that it would be kept in its present state, with no buildings erected, no roads constructed and no timber taken off of the property.
Yellow Thunder Memorial was erected by the Sauk County Historical Society and the Twentieth Century Club of Baraboo in 1909 to honor Chief Yellow Thunder, a member of the Thunderbird Clan of the Ho-Chunk tribe. In 1828 he was part of a delegation of 15 Ho-Chunk chiefs and one Ho-Chunk woman who were escorted on a tour of the eastern United States which culminated with a visit to the White House to meet with President John Quincy Adams. The trip was meant to impress upon the Ho-Chunk chiefs the might and power of the United States.
