Copper Culture State Park
The park derives its name from the trade most commonly engaged in by its most early inhabitants: the making of instruments and jewelry out of copper. It is believed that these early settlers obtained their copper from the beds of Lake Superior. This copper was then used to make such items as bracelets, fishing hooks, spear points, and knives, among other items.
This ancient practice may possibly date back as far as 10,000 years. Housed on the grounds is a museum which is located in a farmhouse that is independently owned and operated. It is not known if dogs are permitted on the grounds of this state park; however, it is likely that they are welcome to join their owners on the area trails but not in any public buildings or areas of historic importance.
It is assumed that there are bathrooms housed on the premises for public use; however, owners should bring both drinking water and poop bags with them in case none are available on the grounds. All pet waste removal is the responsibility of each owner.
Copper Culture State Park is a public park and has a public museum. Access to the premises is granted free of charge. There are a few activities available at this lovely state park. The 42-acre property is replete with forested areas and trails for families to enjoy.
This old fashioned state park supports Wisconsin state law. As such, all canine visitors should be up to date on inoculations. A city dog license is also an excellent idea. Looking to learn more about Wisconsin history? Why not stop by Copper Culture State Park?
