Rib Mountain State Park Conditions

Conditions as of Monday, September 28, 2009:

A road and sewer project in 2010 may block vehicle access to the amphitheater area, so we are not accepting any reservation applications for weddings or other events for 2010.

Trails—The Friends of Rib Mountain State Park and Park Staff completed the development of a new hiking/snowshoe trail this past year. This new "Quarry Trail" leads to the old 3M property purchased by the state several years ago. A new trail map showing these trails is available at the park office.

Please note that mountain biking is not allowed on the trails at Rib Mountain. Mountain bike trails are available at the nearby Nine-Mile County Forest Recreation Area [exit DNR], which is managed by the Marathon County Parks Department.

The campground is open until the end of October. The campground at Rib Mountain is first-come, first-served.

Wildlife: Plenty of deer, turkeys, fox, woodchucks and other wildlife can be seen in the woods.

More Information

Vehicle Admission Stickers are available for sale at the park office or at the Wausau Service Center at the bottom of the hill.
