State Parks You Need to Visit in Wisconsin

With more than 2,800 acres (1,133ha) of quiet, sun-dappled woodland, this state park in Marinette County is one of Wisconsin’s most beautiful spaces. Add to that its access to the famous fishing spot Caldron Falls Flowage, and this state park wins our hearts. Three campgrounds are tucked into the park, with camping sites that have boating-in ability. With a fishing pier, hiking and skiing trails and a picturesque picnic area on Little Woods Lake, Governor Thompson State Park is a surefire winner.

This state park offers something a little different. With 14mi (22.5km) of trails for all-terrain vehicles to explore in the state’s southeastern corner, it’s one for the thrill-seekers out there. Whether you’re driving a buggy or a bike, you’ll have fun here. Other highlights of Richard Bong State Recreation Area include designated locations for flying hot air balloons, hang gliders and model airplanes and, most fascinating of all, areas to train falcons and hunting and sled dogs.
