Council Grounds State Park offers scenic picnic areas with tables and grills overlooking the Wisconsin River. Shelters are available for rent.

When considering cycling options, it's important to be aware that trail conditions can vary with weather and seasons. The park offers a paved bike path known as the River Edge Parkway which provides scenic views along its route; however, cyclists should remain vigilant for pedestrians sharing the path.

Additionally, there are multi-use trails where bikes are permitted. These include sections like Red Trail or Blue Loop - but caution is advised due to potential mixed traffic from hikers and varying terrain challenges.

Before setting out on any of these paths, ensure your bicycle is in good working order and you have appropriate safety gear. It's also wise to check local advisories for current trail status updates before planning your ride.
