General presentation
Wisconsin Northwoods
Deep forests, lake chains and small resort towns in northern Wisconsin.
Minocqua, Copper Falls State Park and Chequamegon–Nicolet National Forest are the most telling landmarks of Northwoods in Wisconsin. Together, they make up a destination where forests, shores and lakes, natural spaces and the countryside meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 4 to 9 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: important distances between certain places. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.
