    WI > Potential hang at a state park in the North/West region of WI

    I have a number of state parks to cross of my list. I was curious if anyone else had any interest in camping at any of these parks too. If so, then I could look into best options. I'm in need of a November location to hang so that might be when I'm looking to book, but also might want to squeeze something in during August or September. I haven't looked into if any of these parks have group sites. We might be talking about just an individual site or two (depending on numbers).

    - Amicon Falls
    - Pattison
    - Copper Falls
    - Straight Lake
    - Interstate

    Copper falls does have a group site. And several very nice walk in sites that are grouped together. It is fairly hammock friendly. Amicon does not have a group site and only two walk in sites. The sites are also hit or miss for being hammock friendly. Pattison does not have a group camp, they do have a backpack camp "area" but it is a couple mile hike in. Pattison also has a couple of the nicer trails out and off limits due to the last flood. I will say all three have amazing waterfalls and fun trails with Copper Falls topping list. Pattison would be a close second if it wasn't for trail closures. Straight and Interstate I can't really speak about, I never get that far south ;P

    Might you get that far south for a hang?

    Possibly, I do most of my major backpacking Sept/Oct so would just depend on the timing

    Subscribed - Copper Falls in Sept sounds like it could work.

    I'd love to come to one in the north. Copper Falls is practically in my back yard.
    "Each of us has an Up North. It's a time and a place far from the here and now. It's a map on the wall, a dream in the making, a tugging at one's soul. For those who feel the tug, who make the dream happen, who put the map in the packsack and go, the world is never quite the same." Sam Cook, Up North 1986

    Karla if you want to have a hang at my house we could figure something out for fall. Enough hanging spots for 100 people. We would have a warming area in the garage and I have a ton of fire wood to burn

    I'm running it on Facebook, so gotta have a FB account. If you do, PM me here and I'll give you my FB link. I know some won't want to create a FB account. That's ok. I run events on Meetup, HF and now it's FB's turn. I'm tired of posting an event and managing it in three different places. Some people get left out no matter which medium I use.

    If someone would like to take the event over and host it to post on multiple mediums, let me know. I'm happy to relinquish it.
