Calumet County Park
This lovely 200-acre county park is
located due south of High Cliff State
Park on the eastern shore of Lake
Winnebago. It offers 71 campsites, a
marina and boat launch, a concession
building, five miles of
hiking/mountain biking
trails, and historic
Indian effigy mounds.
It boasts the best
warbler viewing in the
county including
Connecticut, Prairie
and Black-throated
Blues. Look for small shorebirds feeding
along the beaches in
spring and fall as well
as many species of ducks just off shore.
American White Pelicans nest on this
lake and are interesting to see as they
fly in graceful formations overhead.
