Ledge Park is a climbing area in Ledge County Park in Wisconsin, on county land. It sits within the park's own boundaries, and the Main Area climbing area lies just 0.4 miles away, making the two easy to pair on a single visit. The park offers a mix of bouldering and roped climbing. Of its nine routes, five are boulders, two are top-roped, and two are trad. The boulders run from V2 to V4, with the hardest of them, Avant-Funk, at V4. The top-roped routes sit in the 5.0 to 5.9+ range on the YDS scale. Summer is the most comfortable time to climb. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 80°F with lows near 60°F, while January highs average about 25°F. For a change from the rock, the Discovery Trail and Main Dike Trail are both within about 7 miles, and the Bud Cook Two Hawks Trail is roughly 9 miles away.
