Start your adventure at Devil’s Lake State Park, just outside Baraboo. Towering 500-foot bluffs, mirror-clear water, and hiking trails that make you forget your email exists. Head north to the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, where Lake Superior’s ice caves are the kind of magic that only the Midwest could freeze into being. Add Door County to your route for cherry blossoms, lake views, and postcard-level perfection.

Wisconsin Weirdness (and That’s a Compliment)

You haven’t truly seen Wisconsin until you’ve stepped inside the House on the Rock in Spring Green. It’s part museum, part fever dream, and home to the world’s largest indoor carousel. While you’re nearby, swing by Taliesin, the masterpiece designed by Frank Lloyd Wright himself, because nothing says “road trip variety” like going from a sea creature statue to an architectural genius in ten minutes.
