How lucky are we to live in the state of Wisconsin? If you think about it, we are truly a hidden gem in the Midwest. All around us there is natural beauty, no matter where you go. Not only are we connected to the world’s largest freshwater lakes, which are magnificent by themselves, but our seasons also change along with it. This makes for incredible scenery and views all year round, and summer is no exception. With the change of the temperatures and the heat hitting the pavement, the summer drives in Wisconsin are second to none. Summer is ending soon, but here are some of our favorites for a road trip filled with beauty along the Badger State:
-The Kettle Moraine Drive: Close to home, this 115-mile drive outside of many of Wisconsin’s counties just screams beauty. Going from Elkhart Lake all the way down to Whitewater, the trees are a vibe and simply unmatched.
-Highway 42/Highway 57 Door County: So many amazing twists and turns make for an incredible view of forestry and wildlife. Because the bay protects the trees, the trees glow with radiance and the greenery is incredible.
-Upper Mississippi Valley: Sandstone bluffs covered with leaves and wildlife bring an insane amount of beauty right along the state line. If you take Highway 35, you’re guaranteed at least 250 miles of beauty and trees as far as the eye can see.
-Highway 51/70 Onieda County: Anyone who has ever been to the Northwoods of Wisconsin knows exactly what I’m talking about. When the foliage comes around every summer, it’s almost overwhelming at the amount of beauty and serenity that can surround you at any given time.
-Wisconsin Dells: Take a Duck ride and you’ll understand. Although Wisconsin Dells is unincorporated, the scenery surrounding this Wisconsin tourist hot spot is so prominent in the summer with the greenery exploding off the Wisconsin River.
-Devil’s Lake: Not only is Devil’s Lake a hiker’s dream, it also is a scenic smorgasbord of natural beauty. With a state park sticker needed for hiking, even just driving past this amazing view is enough to get anyone up in their summer feels.
-Marinette County Waterfall Tour: With over 125 miles of beautiful scenery, you come across some amazing waterfalls with the summer trees glistening off the water. The Peshtigo River flows in the background and makes for incredible beauty.
-Highway 33: Connecting with us here at Schmit Bros, Highway 33 goes all the way across the state to LaCrosse with many amazing stops along the way. Largely small towns in-between the drive, this over 200-mile drive gets all the beauty along the way.
