Things to do at Lost Dauphin State Park
- Fox River shoreline viewing EasyRV parking available
The park's main draw is open shoreline frontage on the Fox River, ideal for short walks and scenic views. Benches and lawn space make it easy to watch boat traffic moving between Green Bay and De Pere.
- Picnicking on the lawn EasyRV parking available
The grounds consist of open grass and mature shade trees that work well for a simple picnic. Tables are limited, so packing a blanket is a good backup.
- Eleazer Williams historical interpretation EasyRV parking available
Interpretive signage highlights the site's connection to Eleazer Williams, the missionary long rumored to be the lost Bourbon dauphin. The short, self-guided walk is a good stretch stop for RV travelers interested in Wisconsin history.
- Shoreline fishing EasyRV parking available
Anglers can cast from the riverbank for species common to the lower Fox River such as smallmouth bass, walleye, and panfish. A Wisconsin fishing license is required.
- Birdwatching along the Fox River EasyRV parking available
The mix of mature trees and open river edge attracts songbirds, waterfowl, and raptors, especially during spring and fall migration. Binoculars are recommended for spotting birds across the water.
- Day trip to downtown De Pere Easy
De Pere's riverfront, shops, and restaurants are a short drive north and pair well with a visit to the park. Voyageur Park and the CityDeck area in Green Bay are also within easy reach for a longer outing.

Our family had a great stay in Taylor’s camper! It was clean, well equipped and he was great explaining everything to us when we arrived. We already booked it for next year!

I've rented his rv several times now and will continue to anytime im in the area. Excellent host and very clean and well equipped rv. He makes sure you know how everything works and where it is. He makes setting up and returning the rv is easy and confusion free. If you need an rv definitely look at him first except when I want to rent it of course.

How to get to Lost Dauphin State Park
The park sits along Lost Dauphin Road just south of De Pere, about 10 minutes (roughly 7 miles) from downtown De Pere and 20 to 25 minutes (about 15 miles) from downtown Green Bay. From Milwaukee, it is roughly a 2 hour drive north via I-43, and from Appleton it is about 30 to 40 minutes via US-41 and WIS-172. Access is via paved suburban and rural roads with no tunnels or mountain grades, though the park entrance and internal lanes are narrow, so large Class A motorhomes should stage at nearby lots and use tow vehicles for the short visit. The nearest airport for fly-and-rent trips is Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport (GRB), about 20 minutes away.
