Great Divide Highway

Love nature? Then take the Great Divide National Scenic Highway

through the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest and revel in the

wonderful diversity of plant and animal life in the majestic

Northwoods. The byway passes through forests harboring black bear,

timber wolves and white-tailed deer. It crosses lakes, swamps and

bogs alive with beaver, loons and bald eagles. Lakes and rivers are

also abundant in the area, providing more scenery to capture on

film. If the weather is not to your taste or the wildlife proves

elusive, spend some time with nature of a different sort at the

National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame, a not-to-miss attraction

in the area.

Some of the most beautiful scenery in Northern Wisconsin occurs

during the fall foliage season, when the fiery reds and shimmering

golds of the sugar maples and red maples contrast against the deep

greens of pine and fir to the delight of travelers.
