Mazo Beach Closed
The WI DNR has announced that Mazo Beach will be closed as of 3/8/16. Had a feeling this was coming once the master plan was put in place. It's a great beach, and with the amount of surrounding land would make a great campground like many of the state parks. In the end, it's how to make money off public land. Glad I was able to visit over the years, guess I'll need to either look for a new place to visit. https://dnr.wi.gov/news/releases/article/?id=3881
That is a real shame. I visited there a few times and always found the people there to be welcoming and friendly. I drove over from the Twin Cities, (about 5 hours), to get there and noticed many other out-of-state license plates in the parking lots, too. I wonder if WI knows that they will be losing some tourist $ because of the closing.
