Powers Bluff

Powers Bluff is a worn-down peak of an ancient mountain range that once covered northern Wisconsin. It is comprised almost entirely of solid quartzite and is the highest point of elevation in Wood County. 70 acres of the park is a designated State Natural Area that features a 1.5-mile nature trail. The south 80 acres of the park is listed on the National Register of Historic places as a Native American Cultural Sensitivity Area with preserved Native American dance rings, and burial grounds. In 2012, Wood County acquired 223 acres north of the snow tubing/downhill skiing location. This area will be developed in the future for recreational activities.
