Wisconsin County Forest Acres

Maple LeafLegislation which provided for the establishment of County Forests also mandated that these lands be open to the hunter, the camper, the hiker, and the bird watcher. With the exception of a few sensitive areas, there are no posted lands in our County Forests. There are more than 1200 campsites and thousands of miles of hiking, skiing, and snowmobile trails. Public access to hundreds of lakes and streams is available.

The best way to utilize this enormous resource is to contact Forest Administrators in those areas of interest to you. After that, it's up to you to explore and gain first-hand knowledge of the Wisconsin County Forests.
