About the Friends

The Friends of Governor Dodge State Park are a group of volunteers working together to support recreation, education and environmental stewardship in the park. We love this park and think it has a lot to offer, so let us show you the beauty that is Governor Dodge State Park!

Who are the Friends

If you really want to get to know the Friends, come to a meeting or join us during a work day!  See our Calendar for times and dates.

Current Fundraisers

We receive funds from many sources, including:

• Donations and membership dues
• Sales of items at the concession stand
• Photo prints of the park
• Collectable pins
• Firewood bundles
• Commemorative items like kiosks and benches

If you'd like more information about what we sell, or how to order a commemorative item, please Contact Us.

Future Goals

We would like to build more information kiosks for the park. This would include raising funds for materials. The first location was be the Deer Cove area, where there is a small rock shelter. The kiosk turned out great and we are considering making more. By building these kiosks, we will help educate visitors about the history and significance of the park. Paying for a kiosk would make a great commemorative gift!

Plans have been made to erect a new firewood shed near the office. This new shed will make it easier to store and sell firewood, our biggest fundraiser. We have submitted for a grant to help pay for the building, but we still need donations of service and funds. If you have skills, materials or would like to donate towards the build of the firewood shed, please Contact Us.

We would also like to expand this website. If you have any ideas, or submissions for more content or pictures for the website, please contact the Webmaster.
