The park is jointly managed by Jefferson County and the Ho-Chunk Nation, and is open daily. The locations given here for map links are for this small public park. As of 2010, the mounds in the park (which include two bird forms and three "turtle" or "lizard" forms) are over grown, but still identified. It appeared that at one time the vegetation on the mounds was kept clipped, and the forms outlined with chipped bark and sawdust to make them easier to see, but this activity had not been performed for several seasons. Current condition is unknown. Many other of the originally recorded mounds have disappeared since they were recorded due to development. Others are on private property, including several within the Koshkonong Mounds Country Club golf course. The private country club does offer 1day guest membership, but access to remaining mounds on their property is unknown.
