When most people think of Wisconsin, they think of fields of crops and cows. And while those make for some beautiful Wisconsin scenes, there is scenery all over the place that is beautiful in a different way. Here are some amazing shots of some of the best scenery across Wisconsin.
- The Meeting of Two Rivers

- St. Louis River
Randen Pederson/Flickr A fantastic Wisconsin river, this shot of the St. Louis River really captures the scene of a typical Wisconsin river.
- Peninsula State Park
Yinan Chen/Flickr This Door County staple is so absolutely gorgeous, whether you are observing from an observation point like this fellow or hiking through on the ground level.
- Little Manitou Falls
Randen Pederson/Flickr These falls fall 30 feet. It’s quite scenic.
- Big Manitou Falls
Joshua Mayer/Flickr Not to be outdone, Big Manitou Falls rumbles 165 feet into the Black River.
- Pewit’s Nest

- Devil’s Lake State Park

- Kettle Moraine State Forest

- Chequamegon-Nicolet State Park

- Lake Winnebago
