Sparsely settled
northern Wisconsin
has no large cities (and few small ones), and no interstates. It's a lake-studded wilderness, covered by enormous tracts of forest. Canoe its rivers, fish for record-breakers or ski or snowmobile cross-country trails without having to fight for space.
Bayfield
and the
Apostle Islands
in the northwest are the obvious destinations, but Hayward, southeast of Superior, is home to the amazing
National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame
(mid-April to Nov daily 10am-5pm; closed on weekends after Nov 1; $5). You're invited to "Walk through the biggest fish in the world!" - a four-story, 500-ton, fiberglass monster.
