Wyalusing State Park overlooks the confluence of the Wisconsin and Mississippi Rivers. The Mississippi is a major migration route for numerous birds and the rugged bluffs make this breathtaking scenery a beautiful spot for a spring adventure. Observe hawks, warblers (including yellow-throated), lots of other birds, and a few spring wildflowers. Bring a lunch, as this trip will last until mid-afternoon. Carpool from the Verona Park & Ride (2565 Old Co Rd PB) at 5:00 a.m. or meet the group at 7:00 a.m. by the Wyalusing park office.

A Wisconsin State Park sticker is required to enter Wyalusing State Park.
