Nice park! Well taken care of grounds with a fairly easy trail. Great view of the lake.

Offering magnificent views of Green Bay, this is a lovely county park. The sunset views are absolutely breathtaking, as are the fall colours. This has become our go-to spot every fall season.

A super cool spot to watch the sunset! It's a short drive off of 42 and worth a visit. The view is spectacular as long as you're not afraid of heights for the last 50 feet of the trail!

Beautiful view stumbled upon it at sunset - you won’t regret the drive into the park either - beautiful

Stunning views. The overlook is a must-see birds-eye view of Sister Bay and Lake Michigan. The overlook is right off the parking lot, so it's easy to access. The drive up itself is magical - excellent roads with a thick tree canopy on both sides makes it feel like you're driving through a forest tunnel oasis. Don't listen to Google Maps at the top.. Go straight when it says to turn left near the summit, this is a one-way loop. The hiking trail is perfect for an easy evening stroll through the forest, we walked it comfortably in 25 minutes (stopping to read the information signs). Trails are wide and well maintained. Minor elevation changes, nothing difficult.

The bluff was beautiful and had a great view. There was the overlook and ledge you could walk down, but only a couple people could fit on the ledge at a time. There were a few picnic tables and a trash can at the top, including one picnic table with a great view for a brown bag or picnic lunch. The drive in and out was also beautiful in the fall for a fall color canopy as you are driving.

The observation platform is just right in front of the parking lot, in other words, you don’t have to walk far to get to a breathtaking vista of the Green Bay. Miles and miles of shining lake water can be seen, and to the left, you can see the chalky edges of the towering cliff that the observation platform sits on.

Beautiful overlook on a limestone cliff 100 ft. above water overlooking wide expanse of upper Green Bay. Hold on to your hats if there's strong W/NW winds! There are 2-3 wide, accessible crushed rock walking trails to explore. NOTE: No camping allowed.
