There’s nothing like a Wisconsin summer

Don’t get us wrong: We love the four seasons in Wisconsin. But when summer comes around, there’s a feeling that we, as a state, live these fleeting months of hot, sunny days to their fullest. We know they won’t last forever.

This issue of The Wisconsin 100 is dedicated to everything that makes summer here such an energetic, activity-filled season. We share our favorite lakes, hiking areas, fishing spots and Instagram-worthy photo ops. We spotlight local businesses made for the summer months, our state’s must-visit farmers markets and more.

We take summer seriously in Wisconsin. See why.
