Blue Mound East Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great wooden observation tower on top of Blue Mound State Park. The road climb to the base of the tower packs a punch (and requires caution on the downhill). Open year round and free.

Tip by

34.5 km

Great selection of ciders and tasty (albeit not inexpensive) food selection, right on the bike trail. Good outdoor seating, from where you can watch all the people biking by. I stop here almost every time I ride through

The Grumpy Troll Brew Pub

Highlight • Pub

Great place to stop for a decent pint and better food.
