What locals refer to as the “North Woods,” the North Central Forest of Wisconsin is actually a ground moraine created by an ancient glacier 12,000 years ago. At the heart of the North Woods is Brunet Island State Park, an island in the Chippewa River cut up by smaller streams, inlets and hiking trails. Think Moonrise Kingdom but slightly more landlocked.
Take a quiet stroll down the Jean Brunet Trail through thick hemlock forest. Tread lightly and you may even catch a glimpse of a deer. If it’s adventure and treasure you’re looking for, grab a paddle and co-pilot and explore all the cracks and crevices of Brunet Island by canal. No matter which way you spin it, you’ll be chilling hard.
