There’s A Little Slice Of Paradise Hiding Right Here In Wisconsin… And You’ll Want To Visit

It’s summer, and if you’re anything like me, you’re yearning to get to a beautiful place. But not all of us have the time and the money to head out to what we think of as “paradise.” Wisconsin, however, is full of beautiful places that you probably have never seen. Today we are going to profile one of these places.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
