Overview

Hikes and walks in the Badger State

This beautifully reimagined guide explores the best of Wisconsin’s great outdoors and presents a handful of new hikes and expanded information on popular routes from the previous edition. The hikes in this guide vary in length and difficulty, but John and Ellen Morgan provide everything an avid explorer needs to know about before setting off on a memorable adventure in Wisconsin.

You’ll be taken deep into the woods of Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest and to the breathtaking bluffs of Devil’s Lake State Park. Each trail is different, but all have been chosen for the great experiences they offer—whether in summer or in winter. In June, take in the beautiful sights and scents of the wildflowers in Nashotah Park. Then come back during December to snowshoe and cross-country ski across the trails that are open in the winter. With 50 Hikes in Wisconsin in tow, you’re sure to have the journey of a lifetime.
