NRB Modification to Proposed Rib Mountain State Park Master Plan Revision
Rib Mountain State Park was established in 1927 and centered on what, at the time, was believed to be Wisconsin’s highest point – Rib Mountain. The park has grown in size and popularity over the years and now encompasses nearly 1,600 acres and receives over 400,000 visitors annually. From the top of the mountain, the park provides spectacular views of the surrounding landscape.
DNR staff will now update the plan to include the modification and format the final approved Rib Mountain State Park Master Plan. When complete, the document will be posted to the DNR’s Completed Property Master Plans webpage.
