| - One of the best hidden parks in Dane County.
Donald park is so secret even some locals don't even know about it. Head out on Hwy 92, one of the most gorgeous drives from Mount Horeb, or drive in from Verona Area, just 10 minutes from Epic. " It's officially in the Driftless region". Rolling hills, valleys and has an amazing "Donald Rock" to climb and make you feel like you've gone back in time a few centuries.
Close to nearly 800 acres of land with prairies, woods, trails, streams, beautiful rock formations, and ponds. There's even a historic cabin they have been restoring.
This park is teeming with wildlife, geology and beauty. Hike the miles and miles of trails by foot or even the special trails for horses. With the park being so large you never feel crowded with people.
We love to hike the trails year round. Some our favorite memories here are the winter hikes, untouched snow, ice formations over the streams, and inside the wooded area tracking where the animals have been going.
You won't be disappointed! After 5 years of going to Donald Park I still have not seen it all.
Activities here:Hiking, Horseback riding, Fishing, Exploring the historic cabin, climbing the rock formations, Snowshoeing & cross-country skiing on rustic trails, Prairie and woodland exploration, Relaxing at the pond, sampling the wild blackberries and sun bathing on a bench or blanket surrounded by acres of beauty.
Close to Sutter's Ridge Fruit Farm and Pumpkin Patch, Mount Horeb is less than 10 minutes away, or Maxine's Bar in Mount Vernon has great bloody mary's and bar brunch specials on the weekend.
