Silent sports enthusiasts are ambassadors for living healthy lifestyles, maintaining bodies that can transport them to any natural place they desire. Whether deep, forested trails or exposed coastlines, motorless activities are seeing increased popularity in cities like Madison and Hayward.
With an abundance of students and local residents, Madison is a hot spot thanks to scenic bike routes around Lake Monona or hiking in the university’s vast arboretum.
Home to the renowned American Birkebeiner Trail and free flowing Namekagon River, Hayward hosts running, canoeing and kayaking events in one of the most spectacular and least-developed regions in the Midwest.
