Traveling The Wisconsin Great River Road 

HISTORIC TOURIST PARK in Alma

WIGRR 75th Anniversary Site (1938-2013)

In the 1930s & 40s driving became a popular family pastime, especially with the recognition of the Great River Road along the Mississippi River in 1938.  Impromptu camping spots formed and soon towns opened up their parks for tourists.  Only 4 tourist parks remain on the Wisconsin Great River Road, one of the most popular is Alma's own Rieck's Lake Park. 

 

For only $15 a night you can camp with great views.  The City of Alma offers electricity & restroom/shower facilities.  First come, first served basis ... no advance reservations.

 

Two Pavilions are available for group & family events at no charge.  Use the sign up sheet at the pavilion to reserve.

 

INSIDER TIP:  This is a favorite camping spot during the Spring & Fall bird migration seasons and fills up quickly.
RIECK'S LAKE PARK is recognized as a Wisconsin Great River Road 75th Anniversary Site.  For more information on 75th Anniversary Sites & Events visit the WIGRR website at www.wigreatriverroad.org.
