OFFICIAL TRAVEL GUIDE

Welcome

CANA ISLAND LIGHTHOUSE IN DOOR COUNTY

In Wisconsin, you’ll find inspiring places, fun-loving

people and genuine hospitality. Our state’s great natural

beauty – from the woods and waters of the north to the

hidden valleys and rolling countryside of the south – has

been attracting visitors for well over a century. We value

that environmental heritage and are delighted to share it.

Your dream vacation awaits in Wisconsin, whether it

includes hooking the catch of the day on our 15,000

lakes, traveling our back roads in search of artisanal

cheese and the best small town cafes, exploring our

Native American heritage and world-class museums, or

just simply taking time to sit back and enjoy the glorious

scenery. And I am confident that wherever you go you’ll

discover the down-to-earth hospitality of our people

making you feel right at home.

As you page through this travel guide, you will find

countless unique and original ideas to help you plan your

very own Wisconsin getaway. We look forward to seeing

How to use this guide

The Original Wisconsin Travel Guide

divides the state into seven color-

coded regions. If you know the region

into which you’re traveling, follow the

color code to that section of the

Guide. Attraction information is

arranged alphabetically within destina-

tion cities.

Indexes

At the end of this book, you’ll find

four indexes. The first alphabetically

lists all the attractions in the book,

(pages 74-77); the second alphabeti-

cally lists all the Wisconsin cities and

towns in the book, (page 76); the

third index lists “County, Community

and Area Tourism Contacts,” (pages

77-79); and the fourth lists “More

Sources of Tourism Information,”

(pages 80).

Attraction notes

The Original Wisconsin Travel Guide

includes the mailing address, phone

number, Web site, season and hours

of operation for nearly 500 of the

state’s major tourist attractions.

However, there are many other inter-

esting shops, parks, museums, scenic

overlooks and attractions that are not

listed. As you travel, let your natural

curiosity and spirit of adventure lead

you to them.

Before driving a long distance to see

any single attraction, call ahead to be

sure it will be open when you arrive.

Information for this guide was gath-

ered from the Tourism database in

December 2008. Things change; days

and hours of operation may vary.

Mobility impaired access

Many Wisconsin attractions provide

access for the mobility impaired.

However, because the definition of

“access” varies from attraction to

attraction, this Guide makes no

attempt to identify or qualify that

access. Before you travel, call ahead to

confirm access.

State Parks and Forests

Wisconsin has 99 state parks,

forests, trails and recreation areas.

They offer an extensive variety of

recreational facilities, as well as diverse

and beautiful scenery. Most parks are

open year-round; some are seasonal.

Daily or annual Park Admission

Stickers are required.

Historical, heritage and

wildlife markers

There are nearly 500 Historical

Markers placed along the state’s high-

ways and byways. Each tells an inter-

esting and informative Wisconsin

story.

Distinctive brown-and-

white highway signs mark

the location of nearly 300

heritage tourism sites –

museums, historic districts

and buildings.

State highways are also

marked with signs carrying

an outline of binoculars,

telling you watchable wildlife

is nearby.

Wisconsin’s Rustic Roads –

preserving some of the state’s most

scenic, lightly traveled country roads –

are marked with unique brown and

yellow signs. Each is numbered and

described on the state’s Rustic Roads

Web site www.dot.wisconsin.gov/

travel/scenic/rusticroads.htm.

Road conditions

For a statewide report of detours,

closures, traffic slow-downs or winter

road conditions, simply dial 511.

Wisconsin

For well over a century,

Wisconsin has been a mid-

western vaca-

tion destina-

tion. Today,

tourism is

the third

largest

industry in

the state

generating

more than $13

billion annually and employing

more than 300,000

Wisconsinites.

The success of Wisconsin’s

tourism industry has been

largely dependent upon the

quality and diversity of our

natural resources – the state’s

scenic lakes, streams, rivers,

forests, prairies, and the

wildlife that inhabit them.

Understanding this, Wisconsin

is committed to preserving this

pristine natural product.

Travel Green Wisconsin is a

Wisconsin Department of

Tourism initiative that encour-

ages tourism operators to

reduce their environmental

impact. Designed to promote

smart, eco-friendly business

practices, Travel Green is a

win-win concept. Launched in

2006, the program has been

embraced by every sector of

the state’s travel and hospitali-

ty industry.

As you travel, look for the

Travel Green Wisconsin logo.

Businesses displaying the

Travel Green certificate

demonstrate their commit-

ment to a sustainable

Wisconsin tourism industry.
