Roche-A-Cri Mound

Roche-A-Cri Mound is part of Roche-A-Cri State Park and is the steepest hill in the State of Wisconsin according to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WI DNR). This Adams County Mound was formed by ice and water from the diminishing glaciers of Old Lake Wisconsin during the last Ice Age. Ancient Native American rock art known as glyphs, petroglyphs, pictographs and hieroglyphs of where found at the base of Roche-A-Cri Mound as early as the mid 1800's. Like any natural and man-made attraction both the natural elements (erosion, water and wind) and accidental damage from visitors takes its toll over time.  Because of the concern of climbers' safety back in the 1970's the mound became off limits to visitors. So, to utilize this natural attraction the State of Wisconsin in the early to mid 1990's added a stairway of 303 steps from the basis of the mound all the way to the flat top on the north edge where an observation deck was placed offering a great view of the area. From this view point, you can see for miles and observe several other Wisconsin Rock Formations in the area including Rabbit Rock, Minnie Rock, Ship Rock, Cottonville Rock, Dorro Couche Mound (aka Dyracuse Mound), Necedah Mound and Petenwell Rock. There are large panoramic information plaques to help you identify what you are looking at in the Adams County area.

Wisconsin River

Wisconsin is home to the 430 mile long Wisconsin River that is known for its amazing historical background.  Many years ago it was used throughout the state as a road for transportation from one location to another.  The river begins at the Northeast corner of the state and ends at the Mississippi River.  You get the best of both worlds when fishing in the river.  Not only do you get to bask in the glory of prime Wisconsin fish, but you get to enjoy the uniqueness of the Mississippi creatures.  The Wisconsin River flows through Adams County into Wisconsin Dells and is filled with fun attractions and historical landmarks.  An interesting fact is that a long time ago, the ice that formed Lake Wisconsin melted away causing an overflow of water which cut a portion of the Wisconsin River out which in turn created the Wisconsin Dells.
