Campfire Conversation: The woodlands of Wisconsin are incredibly important for the environment, for
nature, for the well-being of our population, and even the economy. Between logging and tourism,
woodlands have always played a crucial part in the state’s growth. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the
Great North Woods virtually disappeared due to heavy logging and clearance for farming; conservation
and forest regeneration efforts on both the state and federal level allow these woodlands to thrive once
again. Some forests cover wide swaths of the state; the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest extends
nearly 1.5 million acres. Forests, State Wilderness Areas, and trails like the Ice Age and North Country
National Scenic Trail offer access to outdoor recreation on every level, in any season. We share details,
ideas, tips, and more in this fun episode that will inspire you to get your gear and get out and explore.
Jefferson County; Where Outdoor Recreation Meets Small Town Living. Also known as the Heart of the
Heartland, Jefferson County is a conglomeration of historic yet up-and-coming towns all connected
through Jefferson County’s parks and trail systems. You can explore up and down the Glacial Drumlin
Trail by bike or kayak up and down the Rock River; you can tour the main roads or back roads and trails
on motorcycle, ATV/UTV, or snowmobile; and you can enjoy everything from races at Jefferson Motor
Speedway to some Frostie Freeze ice cream while enjoying the history at Jones Dairy Farm. Both the
Rock River and Lake Koshkonong offer terrific fishing and water recreation. Whatever experience you’re
looking for, Jefferson County is ready to bring you along for some adventures!
