One of the largest outdoor spaces in Wisconsin, Governor Dodge State Park is 5,350 acres of deep valleys, shimmering lakes, steep hills, bluffs, and a beautiful waterfall. There are nearly 40 miles of trails which are perfect for hiking throughout the year, allowing you to explore and enjoy the surrounding lands of the park during the spring, summer, fall, or winter. There are an additional eight miles of off-road bicycle trails which will challenge cyclers of all skill levels. Some of the trails are closed off in the winter for cross-country skiing and other snow-related activities. Other recreational opportunities offered at the park are horseback riding, camping, picnicking, and swimming, fishing, boating, canoeing, or kayaking on Twin Valley Lakes of Cox Hollow.
