Roche-a-Cri State Park in central Wisconsin centers on a prominent 300-foot bluff whose name is commonly translated from French as “Screaming Rock.” Established in 1948, the 605-acre park preserves a striking remnant of Cambrian sandstone that once rose as an island above Glacial Lake Wisconsin between about 19,000 and 15,000 years ago. The bluff is also culturally significant for its Native American rock art, including the Roche-a-Cri Petroglyphs, identified as Wisconsin’s only publicly accessible rock art site, along with other images such as a thunderbird and a horned human figure. Scenic views, forested heights, and hiking trails add to its appeal.
