The varied landscape of Wisconsin assures that a good time will be had by all who visit the Badger State: the 11,000 square miles of water, the quaint villages of Door County, and even the state’s Apostle Islands are all unique and jam-packed with natural splendor. Lake Superior, the planet’s largest freshwater lake, holds more than a tenth of the world’s supply of that precious liquid. The thundering 165-foot drop of Big Manitou Falls, its sheer mass and elegant chaos, makes for an impressive sight. For those who prefer to watch wildlife, Wisconsin is home to 450 timber wolves and over 2,000 bald eagles, both of which are growing in population. The Ice Age Trail follows the southernmost location of the last continental glaciers, and for even more history, visit Wisconsin’s Natural History museums, some of which harbor the bones of real Woolly Mammoths. But don’t forget the lakes, including Geneva Lake, which is known particularly for its clean water and beautiful beaches, and every summer plays host to the Music by the Lake Concert Series.
