MADISON, Wis. (May 27, 2025) – With Great Outdoors Month days away in June, Travel Wisconsin encourages residents and visitors to explore the state’s natural beauty and diverse landscape with the help of the Wisconsin Trail Report.
Travel Wisconsin’s Trail Report connects outdoor enthusiasts to Wisconsin’s vast collection of hiking and biking trail networks. The Wisconsin Trail Report is an interactive map for locating trail networks, learning about general conditions and planning a trip around outdoor adventure. By selecting a trail network on the map, users find nearby recommendations for dining, lodging, activities and events to round out a trip.
“Wisconsin’s trails are more than a pathway from A to B — they’re routes for adventure, discovery and making memories,” said Tourism Secretary Anne Sayers. “The Wisconsin Trail Report empowers outdoor enthusiasts with the information and inspiration to make the most of Great Outdoors Month and beyond.”
Visitors discover more than 165 trail networks listed on the report and can find their next adventure through several filtering options. One option allows users to only display Wisconsin State Park System properties, which are perfect outdoor destinations during a significant year. In 2025, the Wisconsin State Park System celebrates its 125th anniversary. The System provides 20 million visitors annually access to high-quality outdoor recreation, educational experiences and natural resources at 50 state parks, 15 state forests and 44 state trails in all corners of the state.
“Our state parks, forests, trails and recreation areas are havens for hiking and biking, and the Trail Report makes discovering your next favorite State Park System property a breeze,” said Steve Schmelzer, Director of Parks and Recreation Management at the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. “As we celebrate 125 years of stewarding these natural assets, you can explore them on an unforgettable trip during Free Fun Weekend or any time of the year.”
The Wisconsin Office of Outdoor Recreation launched the Trail Report in 2021, and the report has grown in popularity since then. In 2024, more than 600,000 TravelWisconsin.com users turned to the Trail Report for travel inspiration. The report includes general trail conditions for hiking and biking, including recreational and mountain biking, and volunteer reporters maintain the Trail Report with regular condition updates into late fall.
