Pattison State Park is located in the state of Wisconsin and is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts. The park is known for its beautiful waterfalls, hiking trails, and scenic views.

One of the main reasons to visit Pattison State Park is to see the park's two main waterfalls, Big Manitou Falls and Little Manitou Falls. Big Manitou Falls is the tallest waterfall in Wisconsin, standing at 165 feet. Visitors can view the falls from a variety of vantage points, including a wooden footbridge that crosses over the river.

The park also offers a variety of hiking trails, ranging from easy to difficult. The Beaver Trail is a popular trail that takes visitors through a forested area and along the shores of the lake. The park also has a campground, picnic areas, and a beach for swimming and boating.

Interesting facts about Pattison State Park include that it was established in 1920 and is named after Martin Pattison, a lumber baron who donated the land for the park. The park is home to a variety of wildlife, including white-tailed deer, black bears, and bald eagles.

The best time of year to visit Pattison State Park is during the summer months when the weather is warm and the park is bustling with activity. However, visitors can also enjoy the park in the fall when the leaves change colors or in the winter when the park offers cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
