Hartman Creek State Park

Relocated Historic Homestead

Another central Wisconsin park, Hartman Creek provides lots of hiking, biking and paddling. All those wonderful silent sports.






















Whispering Pines Dock

We hiked some of the 10 miles of trails around the lower lakes. We also found out they had another 12 miles of off-road biking and another 7 miles for horseback riding. Trails galore.










Hartman Creek is connected to the Waupaca areas Chain O' Lakes. Over 20 natural spring fed lakes formed by receding ancient glaciers, offering crystal clear fun. Most are no wake and connected for some nice paddling, swimming or fishing. Some are even up to 50 feet deep.



Pink Locust Bloom

We stopped by the Whispering Pines Picnic area and hung out and soaked our feet while admiring the emerald green waters. This property was donated by a family to the state and still shows off their love of gardening.

We also tried fishing again or rather feeding the fish.

The park also offers alternative camping, how about a Tee Pee for the night. Concessionaires on the property also offer a multitude of rentals. From peddle boats, kayaks and rafts to screen and camping tents if you forgot to bring yours.
