Travel Green Wisconsin was initiated by the Wisconsin Department of Tourism in 2006 to promote smart, environmentally friendly business practices. The first statewide certification program in the nation, Travel Green Wisconsin has become a model for sustainable travel efforts across the nation. As more and more travelers like you look to make your life a little more green, we hope you’ll appreciate and support the tourism businesses that are working hard to reduce their own environmental impact. As you travel, seek out the Travel Green Wisconsin logo. Businesses displaying the Travel Green Wisconsin certification have demonstrated their commitment to sustaining and preserving our state. We applaud them, and you, as dedicated stewards of the land that is Wisconsin.

4 Visit travelwisconsin.com Wisconsin totals 35.8 million acres in the Upper Great Lakes basin. The northern third of the state is heavily forested, while farmland stretches across the fertile central and Funon southern sections. With more than fifteen million acres of pine and hardwood forest, Wisconsin offers plenty of habitat for wildlife the land MILLER LINDA & RJ and recreation. Fifty-three state parks and recreation areas, ten state forests and one national forest total more than two million acres of outdoor playground. These parks and forests offer thousands of miles of trails for hiking, biking, horseback riding, ATVing, snowmobiling and cross-country skiing. Campers can choose from 7,000 public and 54,000 private campsites. Wisconsin’s glacial heritage left some terrific terrain for golf –more than 400 courses are open for public play. Birders can enjoy and record more than 250 avian species. There are waterfalls and lighthouses to explore, breweries and wineries to tour, cheese to sample, and trains to ride. Experience it all. From the towering limestone bluffs that shoulder the Mississippi to the mysterious sea caves of the Apostle Islands; from the chis- eled beauty of the Wisconsin Dells to sunset in the sanctuary of the Horicon Marsh; from the roaring waters of Big Manitou Falls to the soothing cry of a loon on a Northwood’s lake, this is Wisconsin.

The very name stirs images of crystalline lakes in the tall pinestral forests, babbling brooks and sparkling trout streams, the inland seas of the Great Funon Lakes, and the sweeping majesty of the Mighty Mississippi River. All are part of a glacialborn legacy that has willed Wisconsin an abun-

thewater MILLER LINDA & RJ dance of both water and water recreation. Just how much water is there in Wisconsin? At last count there were 14,949 inland lakes. That’s nearly one million acres of water inside the state’s bor- ders. Wisconsin boasts 2,444 trout streams. End-to-end they’d stretch 9,235 miles. Another 5,002 warm-water streams extend 17,532 miles. Their total mileage would more than circle the globe! Add 238 miles along the banks of the Mississippi River and 860 miles of Great Lakes shoreline along Lake Michigan and Lake Superior. That’s a lot of water. We swim in it, fish on it, and sail over it. We water-ski, windsurf, jet-ski, power boat, canoe, kayak, whitewater raft and tube on it. We have a rich maritime heritage and we’re very proud of it. Wisconsin has been described as the Midwest’s waterpark, a freshwater paradise. Indeed, the Chippewa Indians called the area “Ouisconsin - Land of the Gathering of the Waters.”

58 Visit travelwisconsin.com Wisconsin’s winter is the perfect complement to summer. It’s a season that brings fresh outdoor adventure; a new playground of snow and ice lasting from mid-December Funin through March. By late November, Wisconsin’s nighttime temperatures have fallen below freezing. Downhill skiing and

thesnow LANGENFELD MARY snowboarding facilities begin to make snow and will contin- ually add to their base throughout the season, regardless of the natural snowfall. Many ski areas open in early December and all are in full swing for the Christmas holidays. By mid-December, average daily temperatures in Wisconsin have fallen below freezing. Ice has formed on lakes and ponds and thickens with each passing day. Generally, snow depths throughout the state are adequate for crosscountry skiing and snowmobiling. Ice fishing can start as early as mid- December in the north and early January in the south. The average annual snowfall in Wisconsin, statewide, is 46.3 inches. Snowfall is heavi- est in January, averaging 10.6 inches, while December, February and March each average about 9 inches. Wisconsin’s snow cover lasts through March and even into early April in the northern third of the state. Wisconsin’s relatively mild winter temperatures coupled with four months or more of solid snow cover make the state a true winter playground!
