Lake Kegonsa State Park

This is a good overall state park. The fact that it is on Lake Kegonsa is probably its best feature. The lake provides great opportunities for fishing, kayaking, boating, and it features a nice beach for swimming. The hiking trails here are good, but nothing that is really noteworthy. Everything is well maintained and taken care of.

This park has a great view of the lake. The size of trails is not a long. Also bike friendly. The beach area was less crowded than my expectation. A good place to visit from Madison.

I got to Lake Kegonsa State Park a little later than planned, so I didn’t get to see much in the daylight. I came hoping to stargaze, but the skies were overcast that night. Still, the visit wasn’t a loss—walking through the meadow, I got to witness winter fireflies sparkling in the dark, which was pretty magical. The park has a good number of campsites, showers, and even a playground. I’d definitely come back—hopefully next time under a clear sky.

Decent campground. The lake that the campground is at was unsanitary smelled horrible and you’re not able to swim. They had multiple signs up that said do not enter the water. Overall, the campground was in good condition. The walking path was great and we went on it a few times it’s all brand new.

Great state park, with all the trees 🌳 in the camp ground you feel like you're further north. It's also close to Springers on Lake, which is a great bar and restaurant.
