Situated on a 134-acre peninsula formed in the oxbow Half Moon Lake, which was once part of the former course of the Chippewa River, Carson Park is a beautiful green space that is home to several sports fields, including baseball, softball and football fields, as well as the Chippewa Valley Museum and the Paul Bunyan Logging Camp Museum.

Named in honor of lumber baron William Carson, the park has a variety of things to see and do, including fishing at Braun's Bay, visiting the statues of Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox at the Paul Bunyan Logging Camp Museum, snacking on a famous Butterfinger Dilly Bar from the Dairy Queen, and catching amazing sunsets and photographs.

Other activities in the park range from hiking and mountain biking to waterskiing and horseshoeing.
