Summary
This guidebook describes more than 150 of Wisconsin's best outdoor treasures -- places to hike, canoe and kayak, bicycle, view wildlife, take a scenic drive, cross-country ski or snowshoe, or just enjoy the solitude of rushing waterfalls, blue lakes, scenic bluffs, and deep forests. Bewer describes each area and offers practical advice for visitors -- how to get there, accessibility, a description of the trails, where to find the best scenic views, when to go to avoid crowds, and where and when to go for the best chance to see wildlife. He also provides information about campgrounds and other facilities at each site.
