Ritzenthaler Park sits along the Baraboo River with wooded trails, wetland edges and open river viewpoints — good for intimate nature scenes, reflections, seasonal foliage and birdlife. Best at golden hour or overcast for even light; fall brings strong color. Small parking off 12th St; no fee. Trails are mostly flat and accessible but can be muddy after rain; visit weekdays or early mornings to avoid local walkers.
