What are some other short hikes in Wisconsin?
You don’t have to be an avid hiker to enjoy the trails in the Badger State. There are plenty of short hikes in Wisconsin, including the trek to Lost Creek Falls in Cornucopia. The trail is just 1.5 miles each way, making for a 3-mile round trip. And while it may be lacking in miles, it’s not lacking in much else! The trek comes to an end at the beautiful Lost Creek Falls, an 8-foot waterfall. A wide open area at the waterfall’s base allows for easy-access and close-up views. What’s more, you can actually walk behind the waterfall, which is rather uncommon for waterfalls around Lake Superior.
Which beautiful places in Wisconsin shouldn’t be missed?
There are lots of beautiful places in Wisconsin worth exploring, and the Apostle Islands National Seashore is one of them. Comprised of 21 islands and 12 miles of mainland coast, the seashore is brimming with breathtaking beauty, which comes in the form of cliff-top overlooks, lighthouses, sea caves, beaches, abandoned quarries, and more. Devil’s Lake State Park in Baraboo is another site that’s sure to impress. Wisconsin’s most visited state park, it attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors each year – and for good reason. The park boasts incredible recreational opportunities as well as immense natural beauty, including 500-foot bluffs, a 360-acre spring-fed lake, and 30 miles of nature trails.
What are some fairy tale places in Wisconsin?
If you thought Wisconsin had nothing in common with a fairy tale, think again! The Badger State is brimming with beautiful sites that could easily have come off the pages of your favorite fairy tale. One such site is Stavkirke, a Norwegian church on Washington Island. Its medieval appearance is just half of what makes it fairy tale-like, though. Its secluded locale is another. Accessing the church requires a short trek over a bridge and through the woods. Another fairy tale-like spot that shouldn’t be missed is The Greenhouse. Part of the American Club Resort, it’s a restaurant that’s housed in an antique greenhouse from England. Only adding to its enchanting allure is its location in the middle of a garden.
