AMAZING TRAILS! AWESOME CAVES! I have been going here for over 15 years now, and I always seem to find something different every time that I come here. A little difficult to find if you don't know the area well, but by far one of the coolest places in the state. A MUST for anyone who loves the outdoors. While your there check out the Horicon Marsh and travel the Auto Tour and take a walk on the Floating Bridge!

The ledge is part of the Niagara Escarpment which extends all of the way to Niagara Falls, this portion covers 83 acres along the Niagara Escarpment, a natural rock ledge which divides the park into upper and lower areas and provides a breathtaking overlook of the famous HORICON MARSH and the surrounding countryside. The upper portion is heavily wooded and offers expansive picnicking areas, group shelter, hiking trails, campsites, shower building and the FORT LEDGE PLAYGROUND. The lower portion also offers group shelters, picnic areas, hiking trails and a playground. The hiking trails wind along the ledge, between and over interesting and unique rock formations and through heavily wooded areas. Ledge Park is a convenient place to stay while exploring the Horicon Marsh -You can canoe the Horicon Marsh (Canoe Trail Brochure - for the Horicon Marsh), the Wild Goose State Trail, the Horicon Aquatic Center or the many other attractions in Dodge County.
