There are ten named bluffs in the park. Mill Bluff, 120 feet (37 m) high, is between the interstate and U.S. Route 12. The park office is at its foot, and the campground is just to the west. Bee Bluff, although smaller and only 60 feet (18 m) high, is the most visible bluff from the interstate, as it stands adjacent to the westbound lanes. To the north is 170-foot (52 m) Camels Bluff, two separate outcroppings that together resemble the humps of a camel. Nearby are Devil’s Monument and a 40-foot (12 m) high pinnacle called Cleopatra’s Needle. The other, less accessible bluffs are Round Bluff and Sugar Bowl Bluff to the south, 140-foot (43 m) Wildcat Bluff and Bear Bluff to the north, and 199-foot (61 m) Long Bluff to the northeast. Also in the northeast is Ragged Rock, an 80-foot (24 m) tall former bluff whose protective cap was worn away and is eroding into a conical mound. This cache is placed a short hike from the parking lot in one of very few areas that are not a natural area. State park sticker is required. There is play area for kids and a swimming hole to take a dip.
The Geocache Notification Form has been submitted to of the Wisconsin DNR. Geocaches placed on Wisconsin Department of Natural Resource managed lands require permission by means of a notification form and was approved for placement from Park Ranger James Moorhead and Heather Wolf.
The bluffs are amazing and this park is great. The cache took some bush wacking but it’s well worth the search. There is a paid parking area so I parked just outside the gate and walked.
