Wisconsin is home to two Great Lakes: Superior and Michigan, as well as the world’s most famous river, the Mississippi, and 15,000 inland lakes.
In spring and summer, travelers enjoy the water by fishing, sailing and canoeing or the land by golfing on the best natural golf course landscape in the country. With 46 state parks and 12 state and national forests, the fall offers spectacular scenic touring while the winter lends itself to cross-country and downhill skiing, dog sled races and snowmobiling.
Wisconsin is rich in urban experiences. Milwaukee attractions offer performing arts, professional sports teams, ethnic festivals, nationally-acclaimed zoo and natural history museum, fine restaurants and shopping. Madison, the state’s capital, features the Capitol building, beautiful University of Wisconsin campus and bustling atmosphere.
