Update March 21, 2020

The Adams County Parks would like to give public notice of Covid19 pandemic limitations. On March 17, 2020, recommendations from the CDC and orders by Governor Evers to ban gatherings of 10+ people were communicated to the citizens of Wisconsin in a statewide effort to slow the virus’ spread. This order will remain in place for the duration of the public health emergency.

Adams county parks remain open with respect to what is normally operational this time of year. Due to covid 19 concerns we are no longer accepting shelter reservations or allowing activities that congregate 10 or more people. We hope that everyone is participating in social distancing so we can get through these difficult times.

• Restrooms will remain open given there are enough resources, cleaning supplies and access to personal protective equipment for staff to maintain them.
• Properties will continue to be staffed (Office doors may be locked) and outdoor recreational opportunities (hiking, trails, fishing, etc.) will remain open at this time. For more information or to contact staff please call one of the numbers below
• Visitors are reminded to practice proper personal hygiene to prevent the spread of COVID-19, maintain distance between individuals, and limit group sizes to under ten people when enjoying park facilities.

SHELTERS CLOSED If you have a paid shelter reservation within the next 60-days, through May 15, it has been cancelled. Through a “No-Fault Policy” we are offering a FULL refund for all shelter reservations that are booked out 60-days of today’s date. Please call one of our parks to arrange your refund.
