Pattison State Park’s crown jewel is Big Manitou Falls, a tributary of the Nemadji River and the highest waterfall in the state of Wisconsin at 165 feet; while you’re there, you’ll also be able to see Little Manitou Falls which has a height of 30 feet. The park was established in 1920, spans over 1,436 acres, and is named after Martin Pattison, an early miner and lumber man. You can take part in many activities while you’re there - start your visit at the Gitche Gumee Nature Center which has several exhibits dedicated to the flora and fauna in the area. Other things you can do is swim in the park’s sandy beach, camp in the 59 modern campsites, or hike, ski, or snowshoe through the nine miles of trails.
