1. Hike at Devil’s Lake State Park

Tucked into Wisconsin’s Baraboo Hills, this state park is an ideal destination for leaf peeping and lakeside hiking. Devil’s Lake State Park is home to about 30 miles of trails, which are known for being steep, rocky and challenging. Two of the most popular and scenic hikes in the park are the East and West Bluff Trails, which follow sections of the National Scenic Ice Age Trail and offer gorgeous views of the lake and the changing maple leaves.

2. Camp at Kettle Moraine State Forest

Named for its glaciated features, Kettle Moraine is a 50,000 acre forest divided into five units throughout Wisconsin. With over 200 miles of hiking trails and several lovely campgrounds, it’ll be easy to find something to love at Kettle Moraine this fall.

3. Backpack in Huron-Manistee National Forests
