Wisconsin State Forests provide a wide variety of recreational opportunities including camping, hiking, picnicking, canoeing, swimming, skiing, snowshoeing, boating, off-road biking, backpacking, horseback riding, fishing, hunting and ATV and snowmobile trails.
Many State Forest campsites do not require a reservation; they are open to all on a first-come, first-served basis. To reserve a campsite that does require reservations, visit this website [exit DNR].
