Mill Bluff State Park is a state park of Wisconsin, USA, preserving several prominent sandstone bluffs. The park is located in eastern Monroe and western Juneau counties, near the village of Camp Douglas, and is a unit of the Ice Age National Scientific Reserve. The park protects several sandstone bluffs between 80 and 200 feet (24 and 61 m) high which were islands 12,000 years ago in Glacial Lake Wisconsin. As a result these bluffs are steep and angular, dissimilar to the rounded terrain more typical of the eastern half of the United States. The bluffs served as landmarks both to early pioneers and to travelers today on Interstate 90/94 which passes through the park.
