Lost Dauphin Park is a park in Brown County, Wisconsin. It is located on the land that Lost Dauphin claimant Eleazer Williams lived in the mid-19th-century. The park became a state park in 1947. It was removed from the list of state parks but the land remains state-owned.

Location

The park is located at the home of Eleazar Williams overlooking the Fox River. It is located on Brown County Highway D (which is also called Lost Dauphin Road) along the north side of the river.

State park

The park was added to the list of state parks in 1947. It was later taken off the list of state parks in the 1970s and the house was burned. It remains designated as Lost Dauphin Park with the land remaining state owned.

Features

The site features a scenic overlook of the Fox River with a bench, shelter, and swings. The flagstone foundation of the former house remains visible. Since the park is no longer designated as a state park and is locally run, a vehicle admission sticker is not required.
