Lost Dauphin State Park is a state park in Brown County, Wisconsin. It is located on the land that Lost Dauphin claimant Eleazer Williams lived in the mid-19th-century. The park became a state park in 1947.[1] It was removed from the list of state parks but the land remains state-owned.[2]

Location

The park is located at the home of Eleazar Williams overlooking the Fox River.[3] It is located on Brown County Highway D (which is also called Lost Dauphin Road) along the north side of the river.[2]

State park

The park was added to the list of state parks in 1947. It remains designated as Lost Dauphin Park with the land remaining state owned.[4]

Features

The site features a scenic overlook of the Fox River with a bench, shelter, and swings. The flagstone foundation of the former house remains visible.[4] Since the park is operated locally by the Town of Lawrence, a vehicle admission sticker is not required.[2]
