context_page_description: Governor Thompson State Park is a 2,800-acre state park in Wisconsin, USA, in development approximately 15 miles northwest of Crivitz. The park contains 6.5 miles of shoreline on the Caldron Falls Reservoir, part of the Peshtigo River, and 5,300 feet of shoreline on two small kettle lakes. Adjacent lands are part of the Peshtigo River State Forest. The park was created in 2000, the centennial year of the Wisconsin state park system, and named after then-Governor Tommy Thompson. The main parcel creating the park is the former 1,987-acre Paust Woods Lake Resort and about 200 acres of wild-looking lakefront bought from Wisconsin Public Service Corporation on Caldron Falls Reservoir.
  The park opened in 2005 for day use activities. In 2008, the park contained a headquarters, 16 miles of hiking trails, a boat landing on the Caldron Falls flowage, and a picnic area along the west shore of Woods Lake. Further amenities were being installed. Planned activities include a campground, indoor and outdoor group campgrounds, playground and an amphitheater.
