The Great Outdoors

The variety in Wisconsin’s landscape is a guarantee that every nature lover will find a place they will enjoy. Devil’s Lake State Park is one of the oldest and largest state parks in the state. About a 90-minute drive south of the campground, it attracts adventurers with its unusual name and the long list of activities to take part in, from hiking on one of the numerous trails to rock climbing on the towering quartzite cliffs. The lake is in the heart of the park, offering great opportunities for swimming, boating, fishing, and scuba diving. The park should be visited during winter, too, a perfect time for ice fishing, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing.The shores of Lake Winnebago are the location of a very unique and incredible place – High Cliff State Park. As its name suggests, visitors can take a walk among picturesque cliffs covered with greenery. The park is also famous for its effigy mounds created by the tribes that once inhabited the area, taking you back through time. The statue of Indian Chief Red Bird keeps a watchful eye over the park, and campers can take part in hiking, biking, and horseback riding, as well as boating, swimming, and fishing in the lake.Comprised of two vast forests, Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest is another place that you can quickly get to in your Stevens Point campervan rental – all you need to do is drive north. With its unspoiled wilderness areas, shimmering lakes, and miles of meandering trails, it will help you unwind and reconnect with nature. If you want to see how the forest looked before extensive logging, visit Cathedral Pines, a wonderful mixture of white pine, hemlock, and red pine. Hikers who are in for the view should find their way to the Mountain Fire Lookout Tower and see what it feels like to stand above a sea of lush trees, especially in the fall.
