We’ve got tons of great hiking trails here in Wisconsin. But if you’re looking for the perfect trek, look no further than Chapel Gorge Trail. Lacking in miles but not much else, the short trail offers beautiful natural vistas and leads straight to a secluded beach in Wisconsin. Take a look:
A short loop trail, Chapel Gorge Trail is good for all skill levels. Begin the trek at the trailhead, which is located just off River Road.
The first part of the two-mile trail winds through a hardwood forest, making for a peaceful stroll.
In addition to lots of trees and greenery…
…large rock formations are common sites along the trail.
Eventually, the trail begins to descend, requiring a bit of extra effort. But it's well worth it since a beach is waiting at the end of the trail.
Despite its secluded locale, the beach is a popular spot during the summer, so be prepared for a crowd.
Also be prepared for some great, close-up views of the surrounding cliffs.
