RV Rental Wells State Park, MI

Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy the seven-mile hiking trail available at Wells State Park. Traverse through the natural woodlands of the Upper Peninsula through pine trees and cedar, then marvel as the trail opens up to the astonishing shores of Green Bay. In the wintertime, make sure to bring your cross-country skis or snowshoes. The Wells-Cedar River Trail is open year-round for both winter and summer hiking activities.

Green Bay is considered to have some of the best brown trout fishing in Michigan. If angling is your passion, cast a line out into the bay and see what you can catch. Anyone over the age of 17 must have a valid fishing license. Under-17s don't need one, but, like licensed anglers, they must know the most current fishing regulations and follow them.

If you plan to do some hunting this year, head over to the northern portion of the park to Escanaba where the deer hunting is sublime. While not technically a part of Wells State Park, it's a safe distance from the park’s residents but not too far of a commute. The scenery is superb and the forest is buzzing with game. See if you can snag a snowshoe hare or a mallard while you’re out.

Are you a history buff as well as an angler? Just a stone’s throw from the park is the West Shore Fishing Museum off M-35. What was once the Charles L. Bailey Commercial Fishery was abandoned and fell into disrepair. In 1997, it was restored and converted into a fishing museum for visitors to explore and see this preserved plot of history. Check out the exhibits and artifacts from the original fishery.

Do you spend Sundays on the couch with friends and nachos, screaming for your favorite NFL team on the television? Well, instead of watching it on your phone in your RV rental, why not venture to the historic Lambeau Field? Located an hour and a half from the park, this famous stadium hosts the legendary Green Bay Packers every season. The iconic green and yellow national football team has occupied Lambeau Field in Green Bay since 1957. Major NFL history moments have been made in this stadium, including the 1967 Ice Bowl for the NFC championship. Take a tour of the facility, have dinner in the restaurant, or buy some memorabilia from your favorite Packers player in the gift shop. And if it’s the right time of year, make sure to catch a home game.
