Come visit us soon at Rib Mountain State Park!

Welcome to the Friends of Rib Mountain State Park web site. We are a non-profit organization dedicated to the betterment of the park, located in Wausau, Wisconsin.

~Important Park Road Construction Information~

The road leading to the top of Rib Mountain will be closed until this fall for reconstruction. This work will restore the road, provide safe lanes for walkers and bikers, control run-off, and allow for installation of new sewer and water lines. This project will make access to the park safer and enhance visitor facilities.

Please note, THE PARK IS STILL OPEN. While you cannot drive up or walk the road, you can still access the park from Grouse Lane, Daisy Lane, or hike up the ski hill. Enjoy the "road less traveled" and get to know the wilder sections of park in a new way.
