COPPER CULTURE STATE PARK

Trip made in: September

STATE PARK RATING: COPPER CULTURE STATE PARK

**

Topography and Geology of area-

This is a significant Indian burial ground off of the Oconto River where we have in combination a 15 acre prairie and river land. No other significant land features and no mounds as all the burials, cremations included were pits.

Outdoor activities:

Walking, fishing, boating, and picnicking.

This park was just recently purchased by the state as a child while sledding one winter day discovered a bone of one of the Indians leg’s in the snow. So as being part of the city limits of Oconto the land is interrupted by private homes but has a beautiful walkway and undisturbed river way for the most part.

Here is a excellent picture of the oconto river and this is a picture from the camera of Jonathan Myers as these were more recently added.


I took a picture of Dale just before he nearly met his doom in the river. I was entertained by the fact that he likes to have pictures of him taken.

I however, don't like to see embarrassing pictures of me. Every once and awhile I slip and post one.
I was giving a thumbs up in this very so awesome place.

Here Dale and Tim dueled over a bag of cheetoes.

Dale looks so cute while he's sleeping. I think I see a bubble.



This location that you are seeing was only attainable by crossing over an existing area of logs and you can see but only very slightly that the water also isn't too deep here.

Here is a memorial site of the indian burial ground. Dale touches the mighty beast remembering the people of the past.



Like a boy just before dinner washing his hands in water.



The camera did an odd thing but moments before Dale was hitting Jonathan with a stick...j/k he was hitting Tim.


Here we followed the rare black bear and then realized that was a story I made up to get them to all point one direction. I remember us looking at the beautiful riverside.


I think catching people off guard for pictures is the best way to take pictures or don't take them at all! Dale didn't want us to see that he was eating.


Oh what do you know I got him eating anyway and it's too bad because I think he knows he looks cute eating.
