Walking Trail Bridge

Bradley Park is roughly 105 acres of what the Tomahawk Area was like when it was first settled. The Bradley Company bought the land in 1910 for less than one hundred dollars an acre. Can you imagine what that land would go for now? With an abundance of Wisconsin River Frontage, towering White Pines and  walking trails it is a wonderful place to spend an afternoon.

The park opened in the early 1920′s. Over the years Bradley Park has been used for Fourth of July celebrations, band concerts, family reunions and camping. An enclosed  28′ x 49′  field stone picnic shelter was constructed in the middle of the park about a half mile south of the entrance during the 1930′s.

Stone Picnic Building

The shelter  has 8 large picnic tables for seating and serving, two fireplaces with firewood stored inside the building and has been updated throughout the years to include electricity.

Just a short walk to the south of the main shelter you will find a bathroom building, two nice sized parking lots and another open air shelter with picnic tables. These buildings are always open to all park users  whether the main shelter is rented or not.

Bradley Park is just one of many such areas in and around Tomahawk where you can stand on the shore and wet a line, take a quiet walk down one of the nature trails or grab the picnic basket and enjoy lunch in the great outdoors.

If you would like information about renting out the main shelter,  you can call the Tomahawk City Hall at 715-453-4040.
