•The amphitheater is just to the north of the park ofice and is accessible for people with disabilities.

•Dates and times: Reservations are accepted only for dates from May 1 through September 30 each year. The amphitheater may not be occupied before 9 a.m. and must be vacated by 5 p.m.

Vehicles

•Vehicle admission stickers are required on all motor- ized vehicles. Stickers may be purchased upon arrival.

Stickers are not included in the amphitheater rental fee.

•Reduced rate stickers for large organized groups

for day use only: The group rate is $5 per vehicle with a minimum charge per group of $100 (subject to change). These stickers are valid for vehicles with

either Wisconsin or non-resident license plates. The group must contact the property by mail, telephone, or in person at least 7 days in advance.

•Parking: A parking lot is on the right side of the road- way near the ofice. There is additional parking to the south of the ofice. Some parking spaces will be kept

open for other park users. Due to amphitheater and parking lot size, groups will be limited to 200 people or 50 vehicles. Large groups such as weddings must provide an attendant(s) to direct and park vehicles for

the event. This is for the safety of your guests and to maximize the available parking. The name(s) of these persons must be provided to the park at least 7 days in advance. The park is not responsible for event parking or reserving spaces.

How to Make Reservations

•You must use this form and submit it by mail no sooner than 11 months before your event. (For example, if you

wish to rent the amphitheater for July 4, 2014, you may apply on August 4, 2013.)

•Payment can be made by Visa, MasterCard, check, or money order payable to Wisconsin Department of

Natural Resources. For events in 2009, the amphithe-

ater rents from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for $250. This includes a set time for rehearsal, time and date to be determined between renting party and park staff.

•Reservation conirmation: Reservations will not be conirmed until payment is received. Reservation requests which do not include payment will hold the amphitheater for 7 days. If payment is not received

within 7 days of the request, the amphitheater will once again be made available to others.

•Any changes in reservation times must be cleared through the park ofice before changes are made.

•Cancellations: Refund requests with 21 or more days notice will be reimbursed 50 percent of the payment. Refunds will not be given for cancellation requests re- ceived less than 21 days before the amphitheater was to be rented.

Your Responsibilities

•The person making the reservation is responsible for seeing that the area around the amphitheater is clean

and well kept during and after the event and for ensur- ing compliance with all applicable state statutes and state park and forest rules. Failure to follow procedures may result in additional charges to your group.

Facilities

•Electrical hookup is available and included in reserva- tion cost. No generators, bands or ampliied music are allowed.

•Accessible vault toilets are adjacent to the amphithe- ater. There are lush toilets in the park ofice building.

The park does not provide any facilities for changing clothes (for example as for weddings). The park ofice will not be available for the wedding party to change clothes or “hide” in before the ceremony.

•No tents may be set up outside of the shelter or am- phitheater that require staking because of the location

of several underground electrical lines. Freestanding tents/gazebos may be set up outside of the amphithe- ater with prior approval.

•Please be aware that this reservation is only for the

amphitheater and does not include the adjacent picnic area. Other park users may be using the adjacent picnic area and restroom facilities during your event.

•Carry in/carry out: The park does not have trash or

recycling receptacles for visitors. Plan your activities to use reusable containers and minimize garbage. Please bring adequate bags/containers to enable you to take your garbage and recyclables with you.
