Enjoy Wisconsin's Trails!

Wisconsin state parks, forests, trails, wildlife areas, and other Department of Natural Resources lands provide more than 3,060 miles of recreational trails. They go through forests and prairies and on boardwalks over wetlands and sand dunes. Some provide urban residents with scenic getaways to rural areas.

There are trails for these activites, and more:
