The Meat Up is still on, but with a new location this year
When?
September 5-7 2025 (a bit early this year)
Where?
Wildcat Mountain State Park, Ontario Wi
Walk in site #s 116-120
Cost?
$35 per person (plus WI state park pass for your bike)
Why the change?
The quarry in La Crescent loves to host us, but this year someone rented out the whole place over 2 weekends for a wedding. Bummer that we have to relocate, but this gives us a chance to try new things, and hopefully, the quarry will get cleaned up a bit, maybe junk the old RVs and the janky trampoline.
Regardless, the weekend should be similar to other years.
We will be farther away from the amenities that the La Crosse area has to offer so maybe pack a little more food.
The good news is that Rockton is just down the hill so we’ll be closer to the traditional Sunday chicken feed.
Our reserved sites are WALK IN which means that parking a trailer isn’t possible there. Anyone wishing to bring a camper/trailer would need to reserve a standard site here.
Schedule
Friday: Arrive in the afternoon, ride to a the Wildcat Mountain Bar or cook yourself. Fish fry potential looks good at the bar.
Saturday: Many men are considering the river option. Rent a canoe in Ontario and spend a day on the Kickapoo River. Check the “rides” page for two suggested routes if you don’t want to paddle.
