State Bucket List
Wisconsin's Northwoods lake country is the classic Midwest outdoor experience -- loons calling at dusk, a fire ring by the water, and a sky full of stars undimmed by city light. St. Germain sits at the heart of it, surrounded by a chain of 26 connected lakes that offer days of paddling through pine-scented wilderness. The muskie fishing and the silence are equally world-class.
