SaveThe Powers Bluff Trail System consists of:
• 4.2 miles of single-track mountain bike trail (built by Rock Solid Trail Contracting from 2022-4)
• Two gravity mountain bike trails (built by Rock Solid Trail Contracting from 2022-4)
• 3.4 miles of gravel double-track multi-use (built by Wood County Parks & Forestry from 2022-4)
• 2.3 miles of nature hiking trails
• Additional grass multi-use trails
Powers Bluff is a worn-down peak of an ancient mountain range that once covered northern Wisconsin. It is comprised almost entirely of solid quartzite and is the highest point of elevation in Wood County. 70 acres of the park is a designated State Natural Area that features a 1.5-mile nature trail. The south 80 acres of the park are listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a Native American Cultural Sensitivity Area with preserved Native American dance rings, and cemeteries. In 2012, Wood County acquired 223 acres north of the snow tubing/downhill skiing location.
Some of the winter activity highlights of the park include downhill skiing, tubing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, hiking, and groomed single-track fatbike trails. Additionally, the park features a two-story stone shelter building with concessions, a fireplace, and restroom facilities.
