10 Scenic Walking Areas in Wisconsin That You Shouldn't Miss
When you think “adventure travel” you probably think of far-flung places like Belize and Alaska—not Wisconsin. But if you’re an outdoor adventurer, you’ll find plenty of places to explore in Wisconsin. A vacation in Wisconsin can put you close to the Kettle Moraine State Forest, which has excellent biking trails. Or choose Wisconsin’s Apostle Islands—kayakers will love exploring Lake Superior’s many caves and shipwrecks.
Packers fans don’t wear those cheese-wedge hats for nothing! Foodies will love tasting as many of Wisconsin’s artisanal cheeses as possible. Either drive from cheesemaker to cheesemaker, or choose a Wisconsin vacation in a town with a good farmers’ market—then the cheesemakers bring their wares to you. And what goes better with artisanal cheese than craft beer? In Milwaukee, visit the Lakefront and Sprecher Breweries for tours and tastings.
Wisconsin Dells is a classic family vacation destination. A vacation in Wisconsin Dells will put you close to all the excitement—you’ll have to tear the kids away from the theme parks, wave pools and water parks in Wisconsin Dells!
Lake Geneva boasts clean beaches, golf, and a small-town feel that definitely appeals to city dwellers—it’s a popular getaway for residents of Chicago.

Very few people come to the beach in the morning. We decided to venture out at 9am the other day and only say a few other cars and only 2 people. We seriously had the beach wide open and to ourselves. We beach combed, bounced on the driftwood in the water, and ez up and down the shoreline. Stunning views! I also went with some girlfriends the other night for an evening bonfire and swim. This beach is a treasure and a must visit if you’re passing through or as my kids (even a teenager ????) said, “people could come spend a week up here! There is so much to do and you can relax on the beach every day!” They are currently restoring the beach area... they are paving the parking areas and creating boardwalk type walkways and it looks really nice! So glad they are doing some upkeep! There are no changing areas that I know of (maybe they are in the construction plans??) so make sure to wear your suit and use the bathroom prior to arriving! There are gas stations close by but we usually end up leaving because someone eventually needs to use a restroom. This beach is a true gem and lacks the crowds and hike at park point :) definitely a can’t miss place of you like beaches and swimming!

Over the years the locally famous "M" has become easier to access. It is maintained by the University of WI-Platteville and the students light the "M" every homecoming. They built a nice parking lot and a wooden stairway to the top of Platteville Mound with rest benches along the way. Once you get up there, you can take the hard-packed hiking trial which runs along the ridge of the mound. You can see sinkholes, limestone outcroppings, and caves. Get to the end and see the wonderful stacked stone art, built by some patient students, perhaps? You can see for miles around. If it's a Sunday mid-morning you can enjoy the clip-clop on the road below as the Amish horse and buggies go by.

I would rename this page into Hixon Forest. The forest is a sprawling entity, with multiple trails and many parking lots, and divided into subsections. Upper Hixon Forest is just one such subsection. This gem was gifted to the city of La Crosse by Ellen Hixon ages ago. Her monument and the story are commemorated at the Grandad Bluff - separate La Crosse Park bordering Hixon Forest.

This walkway has a smooth surface and there are plenty of benches to take a break and enjoy the view. There are also several informational markers with a lot of the local history.
