About Tower Hill State Park

Tower Hill State Park sits outside Spring Green and features a reconstructed Helena Shot Tower, where visitors can learn how lead shot was made in the mid-1800s. The park offers bluff trails with river views, a picnic area and shelter, a canoe landing on the Wisconsin River, and a small campground. It borders the Lower Wisconsin State Riverway.
