MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Looking for something to do on this holiday weekend? All of Wisconsin's state parks are open after last month's flooding.

Wildcat Mountain State Park near Ontario in western Wisconsin is back open after being closed for almost a month after 13 inches of rain fell in about two days.

Park manager Ron Campbell says being closed cost the park about $30,000 each weekend.

Access to some trails and other services at some southern Wisconsin parks is restricted as the Department of Natural Resources continues the clean up.

The only state parks facility closed is Parfrey's Glen, a state natural area adjacent to Devil's Lake State Park. The "400" Trail from Wonewoc to Reedsburg also remains closed.
