2026 Fall Drive Up Days
2026 Days: Oct 3rd & 4th, 10th & 11th, 17th & 18th
Thank you for joining us for another wonderful Fall Drive-Up Days season at Minocqua Winter Park!
We loved welcoming so many visitors to the top of Squirrel Hill to soak in the best fall color views in the Northwoods without the 170-foot vertical hike. From crisp autumn weather to pet-friendly visits and peak leaf-peeping, it was a fantastic way to celebrate the fall season together.
Head over to our Facebook page to view our full photo album from this year’s event.
Thank you for spending part of your autumn with us. We look forward to seeing you back on the hill next year!
About the View
At the Squirrel Hill Overlook you’ll be greeted with a unique and expansive view. Look for the winding Yukon Creek as it joins the Squirrel River far below. Stop by the information table to learn about park history, upcoming events and projects, volunteer opportunities and more!
You’ll also be able to check out the brand new pavilion, the Tower House, located right at the Squirrel Hill Overlook. This beautiful 4-season building can be used for family gatherings, weddings and other group events or as a destination during a day of snow shoeing, skiing, hiking, mountain biking, or disc golfing.
