Wisconsin

A dairy state on the Great Lakes, with a distinctive character shaped by lakes, forests and a culture of cheese and beer.

Wisconsin lies in the northern Midwest, bordered by Lake Michigan to the east and Lake Superior to the north, with countless lakes inside the state. Milwaukee is known for its brewing tradition and the Harley-Davidson Museum, and the capital, Madison, sits between two lakes; Door County, the Apostle Islands and Wisconsin Dells are popular vacation spots. Dairy farming is highly developed here, and the cheese is especially famous. Summer and the fall foliage season are the best times to travel; winters are bitterly cold but good for skiing. The main gateways are the airports in Milwaukee and Madison.
