Tower Hill State Park contains the Helena Shot Tower. The original shot tower was completed in 1832 and manufactured lead shot until 1860. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The park abuts the Wisconsin River and is bordered by state-owned land comprising the Lower Wisconsin State Riverway.
Scenic bluff trails & camping Seasonal park with panoramic views from bluff hiking trails, plus public campgrounds & canoeing. Historic Shot Tower. On the banks of the Wisconsin River.
Cool old "shot" tower. Nice for picnics. Mosquitos the size of Buicks - slather up with OFF or your favored repellant in advance and watch out for poison ivy - stay on trails.
Beautifully sited above the Wisconsin River, 77-acre Tower Hill State Park provides campsites, nature and hiking trails, and picnicking facilities. The upland forests, a wide variety of plants, shrubs, birds, and animals, and a 175-foot Cambrian sandstone cliff make the park attractive for those who enjoy natural settings. The location has special significance in Wisconsin history as the site of the lead region village of Helena and the place where Green Bay entrepreneur, Daniel Whitney, and his partners built a tower to make lead shot, hence the park name.
