PLACEHOLDER CONTENT. Stop coordinates were adjusted to real, public-record locations within the park (OpenStreetMap-tagged mound/stockade points, Wikipedia/Wisconsin DNR park boundary) so every pin falls inside the actual park, but stop order, numbering, and copy are still illustrative samples and have not been verified against on-site signage. Park staff should review and edit every stop via /admin before publishing.
