Wild Wisconsin

The French were the first to lay claim to the wild lands of Wisconsin, establishing a trading post and mission in 1660 near Green Bay, the present day home of Lambeau Field and the Packers. The territory changed hands again in the French and Indian War, and remained under British control until after the war of 1812. It did not become the 30th state of the union until 1848. Today, it remains a largely wild landscape; its 95 state parks and forests account for more than one-seventh of the land, and Wisconsin's 14,000 lakes cover another considerable chunk. Anyone fond of nature and wildlife will feel at home in Wisconsin. Likewise, the state's major cities have a charm of their own, not to mention its collection of small towns that will make you feel as though you've wandered into a Hallmark movie. The capitol of Wisconsin, Madison, sits between two beautiful lakes and houses several of the architectural gems designed by the famous Wisconsin native Frank Lloyd Wright. Just to its east is bustling Milwaukee, which presides over Lake Michigan's western shore and is famous for its one-of-a-kind breweries and beer industry. To the north is Green Bay, where the history of the territory from its indigenous inhabitants to the arrival of French traders and beyond can be explored.

Wisconsin's multifaceted wonderland is complete with world-class fishing, water sports, and opportunities for hunting and hiking. In fact, Wisconsin's registered hunters would make the world's 5th largest army- conservative estimates count nearly 2.5 million of them. The state is an outdoorsman's dream, where skiing, sledding, fishing, hunting and hiking abound, amongst other seasonal activities.
