 Wisconsin’s County Forests provide a
multitude of recreational opportunities. There are more than 2.4 million acres available
to the general public to use for a variety of recreational pursuits.
 Pick your favorite spot in Wisconsin to
vacation. Chances are there is a county forest nearby. Check in with the County's Forest Administrator before
leaving home and receive a wealth of information – maps, areas to hunt, where to
fish, trail locations – the material that is available is quite extensive. You will
also learn that certain activities are not allowed or appreciated. For instance, because
these forests are open to all the public, hunters may not erect permanent tree stands. You
will receive all the rules and regulations, fees for camping or using the trails, and
information about what is or is not allowed in that particular forest when you contact the
County's Forest
Administrator.
You are welcome to use the county forests for fun and recreation. All we ask is:
- Carry it in, carry it out; don't
litter,
- Find and follow regulations, and
- Do no damage.
