Blackhawk Park, Wisconsin

Pool 9 of the Mississippi sounds like some strange space station, but we promise it’s just the sick riverside location of Blackhawk Park. Set along the mighty river, you can camp on the shore for a night or more and soak in the views. Those who want to get out into the water can boat til their heart’s content or cast a line from the shores. Rangers often sponsor campfire talks and craft time for kiddos and are always willing to help you find the best way to explore, whether it be swimming on the beach or hopping the trail. Shady and serene on the water, Blackhawk is the perfect Minnesota getaway.
