Big Foot State Park, Campground tour, Hiking info, Area history of Lake Geneva Wisconsin

[@fantasycamp4000]

I spent two summers working in maintenance for Big Foot Beach State Park in the late 70's. At that time the road was all gravel. I had to grade the road every so often to keep the ruts from forming. I dug post holes, put up new signs, repaired the old ones. Ran the garbage truck through the park and cleaned the toilet and shower facilities. The two men I worked for, the Ranger and the Superintendent where both nice fellows, teaching me all they new about Park maintenance. The main use was on the weekends, when people would drive up from Chicago and the park would get jammed. Thanks for the video. It brought back fond memories of my youth.

Did you ever hike the lake trail?

[@fantasycamp4000]

@@SconnyWandering Yes, but not all the way. My family lived in Williams Bay, so one day when I was about 10 my brother and I and a couple friends decided to ride our bikes around the lake, not telling our parents. We only got to just past Fontana when one of the bikes had a flat tire. We had to knock on someones door to call our parents. They were not thrilled. This was in the 60's. In the sixth grade in Williams Bay, I also spent one week for outdoor education at George Williams Collage camp, also on the lake. I spent alot of summers swimming at the beach and fishing off piers.

@@SconnyWandering The only Brookwood I know is the middle school in Genoa city. Let me know if thats not what you mean.

[@SconnyWandering]

Nope, not that. Brookwood is between Abby springs and Geneva yaht club. Peir 519

Thanks for this! It’s relatively close to where I live so I’d like to try it out. This vid helped.

[@SconnyWandering]

Not many other options in the area

You think one day you will go back and show those a-c camp sites and all the tent ones that weren't shown? I also noticed there is a campground called Gracial Drumlin-Sandhill station nearby, really small, thats close to Aztalan, hope you get to that one day :)

[@SconnyWandering]

I most likely will not revisit big foot beach. I cant imagine finding it emptyer than i did and i dont like showing tent walk ins with guest in them. Ad for the other on on the bike trail, perhaps. I was unaware of it. But since its FCFS i want feel the need to see all sites.

Its kind off funny this was posted January 1st 😂. Good work.

[@SconnyWandering]

Had some audio video out of sync, and I had to find time to really fix the edit. However, I filmed it the day I wound up at point beach state forest, after visiting bong recreation area. It was a long day, yet I still had the energy to do some night photography

[@t-man152]

@@SconnyWandering Point Beach is my favorite Wisconsin state park and campground. Also my favorite video of yours. Good effort you give into these videos

[@MFitz12]

OK, but did you see Big Foot? Was he in focus?

[@SconnyWandering]

Did you watch the video, I included his photo

[@MFitz12]

@@SconnyWandering - I was thinking the other Big Foot. The tall furry one who only resides in out-of-focus places.

[@motociklista101]

Can you park a car instead of an RV and spend the night?

[@SconnyWandering]

You can tent camp in the RV section. But your paying extra for the power, and the sites fill up faster

[@jeffs869]

the small lake you walked along in the beginning of the video is man made in the exact same shape as lake geneva.

[@SconnyWandering]

If that's the case, it has two narrows and I can't find Williams bay
