Top 10 Geologic Formations in Wisconsin, United States
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.

We had a group of 30 motorcyclists venture up the winding road to the top of the bluff on a perfect weather day to view the expanse of LaCrosse and the Mississippi River. It was well worth the ride.

Even though this is a relatively short hike (a little over 3 miles round trip) it is probably our favorite trail in Wisconsin. Our last trip it was very warm, close to 90. Once you get into the shaded part of the trail the temperature is very nice, so don't let a super hot sunny day deter you from checking this place out. Plus with as hot as it was, didn't mind just walking up the stream instead of jumping from rock to rock to stay dry.
7. Cave of the Mounds
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 551 reviews
The most beautiful cave in Wisconsin and the upper Midwest, Cave of the Mounds lies just off U.S. Highways 18/151 in Blue Mounds, WI. The United States Department of the Interior and the National Park Service designated Cave of the Mounds a National Natural Landmark because the site possesses "exceptional value as an illustration of the nation's natural heritage and contributes to a better understanding of man's environment". Curious tourists and budding cave enthusiasts have been enjoying an introduction to caving in the midwest for years while visiting Cave of the Mounds. Commonly referred to as the "jewel box" of America's major caves for the variety and delicacy of its formations, Cave of the Mounds is recognized by the Chicago Academy of Sciences as "the significant cave of the upper Midwest".

Well worth the drive to get to from Madison where we were staying. After a short introduction film about how the cave was formed and founded, and what stalactites, stalagmites, trilobites and a few other things you will see in the cave we proceded down into the depths of the cave with our tour guide. On this tour at some of the stops we sang some Christmas songs which was a lot of fun. At one point on the tour our guide turned out the lights so total darkness was experienced. Very interesting, been a long time since I had been in a limestone cave and had forgotten how beautiful the formations can be.
8. Baraboo Bluffs

I just need to mention that the map with this entry shows Baraboo Bluffs many miles away from where they are. If someone knows how to fix it, please do so. Also, Baraboo Bluffs is a region, not a place, so I am not sure the entry is appropriate altogether. But since it's here, I need to mention that the "anchor"piece of the Bluffs is Devil's Lake State Park. Baraboo Bluffs also includes several Wisconsin State Natural Areas, the biggest being Baxter's Hollow SNA - right across Highway 12 from Devil's Lake. Many businesses add great appeal to the area - like Ski-Hi Apple Orchard or Baraboo Bluff Winery. City of Baraboo itself has plenty to see, including World Circus Museum. And many other things, most have their own entries on TripAdvisor.
