Eau Galle Park
- Eau Galle Park and historical site was given to Dunn County in 1965. The power potential of the rocky gorge at the dam site was of interest to Captain George Wales and Thomas Savage only five years after the first white man visited the site. A water powered saw mill was built there in 1838. Other business changes followed until 1886 when it was converted into a mill for the grinding of feed and flour. The water power here was turned to the production of electricity with the founding of the Durand Light and Power Company in 1898. In 1927, it was sold to Wisconsin Electric Hydro and acquired by Northern States Power in 1957, who operated the power plant until it was passed on to Dunn County in 1965.
Pineview Park
- Pineview Park, previously known as “Welch’s Point” was donated in 1961 to Dunn County by the Eau Galle Sportsmen’s Club. The park has 4 acres of land on Lake Eau Galle with 400 feet of waterfront. The Sportsmen’s Club had purchased the land from Vaughan Welch. Swimming, fishing and boating draw most people to this park. There is also a handicap accessible fishing pier.
