Derge Park, located 5 minutes northwest of the City of Beaver Dam, covers about 13 acres on the west-central shore of Beaver Dam Lake, Wisconsin's 16th largest lake. The 6,600 acre lake provides excellent fishing and is popular for sailing, speed boating, and water skiing. Besides providing access to Beaver Dam Lake with a boat launch, piers and over 500 feet of shoreline, Derge Park contains campsites, picnic shelters, a shower/restroom building and a dump station. Leona's Grove, a memorial to Leona Hupf - a former Park Attendant, offers a peaceful resting area with a view of the lake. Derge Park is an excellent place to hold group campouts and picnics, family reunions and other group events and an ideal location for hunters and fishermen seeking access to Beaver Dam Lake. Derge Park is also a favorite destination of those looking for a more peaceful camping experience.
