Door County Coastal Byway

One of the best scenic drives in wisconsin.

The Door County Coastal Byway (DCCB) is a 66-mile stretch of highway that offers drivers, sightseers, and experienced road bikers a condensed tour of the Door peninsula and many of its iconic natural features. From quaint and quiet lakeside villages and jagged limestone cliff sides to deep green forests and sparkling lake views, this drive packs some of the most-sought views, scenery, landscapes, and attractions of the entire region into a single, easy-to-navigate day trip.

A winding road lined with trees in their fall colors.

An Official National Scenic Byway

In 2010, the DCCB was granted the distinction of being a Wisconsin Scenic Byway, the state’s third. And in February 2021, the DCCB was granted National Scenic Byway status by the US Department of Transportation.

This honor indicates the DCCB has “archeological, cultural, historic, natural, recreational and scenic” qualities worth recognizing and preserving and is a “gateway to adventure.” With all there is to see, do, taste, and experience in the towns and recreation spaces along the way, we couldn’t agree more.

The byway begins just north of Sturgeon Bay, traverses Highway 42 along the Green Bay shoreline, crests in the maritime towns of Northport and Gills Rock, heads back down south and connects with Highway 57 on the east side of the peninsula, and ends back in Sturgeon Bay where it started.

Door County Tour

Description:

The Door County Loop is a 3 day paved trip that explores a very unique part of Wisconsin and is high on the bucket list of many midwest riders.  This ride starts in Little Chute (Appleton) and hugs the Lake Michigan shoreline as much as possible all the way to the tip of the peninsula.  A short ferry ride takes you to Washington Island where you can explore the island’s history and view the lavender fields.  After returning from Washington Island, this route hugs the Green Bay side of the peninsula all the way back to the city of Green Bay before returning to Little Chute.

The third day of the ride also makes a stop at the Wisconsin Motorcycle Memorial.  This is a memorial park dedicated to Wisconsin Riders who have passed and it is a very beautiful and touching place.

This ride has a great mix of amazing roads and historical and natural sites.  The area was among the earliest to be settled in Wisconsin, so it has a rich history.  Fishing and shipping were among the earliest industries, so there are lots of museums and lighthouses in the area.  In addition to the historic sites, the roads are very cool and some feel very remote.

The Door County Loop also includes 8 Wisconsin Rustic Roads, and a visit to historic Lambeau Field and the Green Bay Packer Football Hall of Fame.

Top 8 Best Motorcycle Rides in Wisconsin: The Ultimate Guide

' src=

I’ve always been fascinated by the open road and exploring the picturesque landscapes Wisconsin has to offer.  Motorcycle rides in Wisconsin  are an exhilarating way to experience the diverse terrain of this stunning state. Nestled in the Midwest among the Great Lakes, Wisconsin boasts a vast array of scenic routes suited for both laid-back cruising and thrilling escapes.

From the dramatic Mississippi River bluffs to the rolling Kettle Moraine hills, there’s no shortage of breathtaking vistas. I’ve put together a list of the  top 8 best motorcycle rides in Wisconsin  to help you plan your next two-wheeled adventure. These routes offer stunning views, engaging twists and turns, and charming local stops.

Wisconsin is well known for its diverse landscapes and beautiful waterways, which create a wide range of incredible motorcycle rides throughout the state. However, the adventures don’t stop at Wisconsin’s borders. Neighboring states also provide stunning rides that are well worth the journey. To the west, Minnesota offers the breathtaking North Shore Drive , a route that hugs the shore of Lake Superior and provides ample views of its majestic beauty. Heading south to Illinois, the Great River Road provides a picturesque ride along the Mississippi River. If you ride east to Michigan, the Tunnel of Trees Road is a must, offering a unique journey through dense, overhanging foliage.

Lastly, head north to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to ride the Brockway Mountain Drive , an exhilarating route with panoramic views of Lake Superior. Each of these routes offers a different experience, making them the perfect complement to Wisconsin’s own fantastic rides.

1. Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive

Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive

I’ve always found the Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive to be one of the best motorcycle rides in Wisconsin. Stretching over 115 miles, the drive showcases stunning views and diverse landscapes shaped by glaciers thousands of years ago. It’s an unforgettable experience that any motorcycle enthusiast would appreciate.

I recommend hitting the road from late-spring to early-fall, during which the weather’s just right for motorcycle riding. Here’s a brief overview of the best time to visit:

This scenic ride covers approximately 115 miles of picturesque countryside, and it’ll take you about 3 to 4 hours to complete the round trip. Keep in mind that you might want to allot some extra time for brief stops and to marvel at the views.

There are quite a few fascinating places to stop along the ride, including:

  • Kettle Moraine State Forest – Linger at the Parnell Tower and take in panoramic views from its observation deck.
  • Holy Hill – Catch a glimpse of this beautiful landmark basilica nestled atop a hill.
  • Old World Wisconsin – Immerse yourself in Wisconsin’s history and heritage at this open-air museum.

I’d rate the Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive as moderately challenging for motorcyclists, as it mainly consists of well-maintained, paved roads. There are a few curves and elevation changes to keep the ride interesting, but nothing too overwhelming for experienced riders.

Don’t forget about the entrance fees for some stops along the drive, such as the Kettle Moraine State Forest. Lastly, be sure to check the weather forecast and road conditions before heading out, just to be safe.

2. Door County Coastal Byway

Door County Coastal Byway

Wisconsin’s picturesque  Door County Coastal Byway  offers an unforgettable motorcycle ride for riders seeking a blend of natural beauty, charming small towns, and scenic vistas. Spanning 66 miles along the coast of Lake Michigan, it’s a ride that’s perfect for a weekend getaway.

 Although the byway is accessible year-round, I recommend visiting between May and October. The warmer months offer pleasant weather, ideal for enjoying the beautiful surroundings. Fall brings vibrant foliage, providing a stunning backdrop for your ride.

The route spans 66 miles, with a recommended travel time of 3-4 hours. This allows for ample time to soak in the scenery and stop at various spots along the way.

Places to Stop:

  • Egg Harbor : A picturesque village with an artistic flair and unique shopping opportunities.
  • Fish Creek : Another charming village, known for its waterfront park and historic buildings.
  • Baileys Harbor : A harbor town, offering great views and home to the iconic Cana Island Lighthouse.
  • Sister Bay : A popular destination with a vibrant dining scene and waterfront activities.

The Door County Coastal Byway is a relatively easy ride, featuring smooth, well-maintained roads with gentle turns. The picturesque surroundings and slower pace make it suitable for riders of varying skill levels.

Other Information:

  • Speed limits along the byway range from 25 to 45 mph, allowing riders to enjoy a leisurely pace as they traverse this scenic route.
  • Restaurants, shops, and lodging options can be found at various spots along the byway. It’s essential to plan ahead, as some businesses may have seasonal hours.
  • Don’t forget to visit the numerous parks and natural areas along the route, such as Peninsula State Park and Cave Point County Park.

3. Wild Goose State Trail

Wild Goose State Trail

Winding Through the Wild Goose State Trail is definitely one of Wisconsin’s hidden gems. This 34-mile long trail offers a mix of picturesque landscapes, wildlife sightings, and a chance to explore small towns in the area. Here’s a brief overview of what you can expect during your ride on this captivating trail.

The ideal time to ride the Wild Goose State Trail varies depending on your preference. Spring and fall bring with them stunning foliage and comfortable temperatures, while summer offers more daylight hours and better weather. It’s worth noting that some sections of the trail might be closed or impacted during winter months due to snow and ice, so plan accordingly.

The entire length of the Wild Goose State Trail is 34 miles. Depending on your riding speed, you could complete the entire trail within 3-4 hours. However, if you’re the type who likes to stop and relish the scenery or explore the stops, it may take the whole day. On average, bikers usually require around 5-6 hours to fully appreciate the beauty of this trail.

There are several small towns and rest stops throughout your ride on the Wild Goose State Trail. Some notable places include:

  • Horicon Marsh Education and Visitor Center : Learn about the largest freshwater cattail marsh in the United States.
  • Juneau : A historic city with local shops and eateries.
  • Oakfield : A charming, rustic town with a railroad depot – perfect for a quick break.

The Wild Goose State Trail is relatively flat with a limestone and crushed stone surface, making it suitable for bikers of all skill levels. Beginners might find the distance a bit challenging, but experienced riders should expect a relatively smooth and enjoyable ride.

Here are a few essential details about the Wild Goose State Trail:

  • The trail is open for non-motorized use only (except for snowmobiling in designated areas during winter)
  • Trail passes are required for bikers aged 16 and older.
  • Keep an eye out for wildlife like deer, beavers, and turtles.
  • Bring insect repellent during summer months to combat mosquitoes.

4. Highway 33 Rollercoaster

Highway 33 Rollercoaster

This route is a true gem, taking riders on an epic adventure through the state’s gorgeous countryside. With its scenic landscapes and exhilarating curves, this ride truly lives up to its “rollercoaster” moniker.

The optimal time for enjoying the Highway 33 Rollercoaster ride is from  late spring to early fall . The mild temperatures and verdant surroundings make these months ideal for taking in the beautiful vistas along the way. It’s also best to avoid this route during the winter months, as snow and ice can create hazardous conditions for motorcyclists.

The total distance of this spectacular ride is  about 100 miles . Given the route’s numerous twists and turns, I advise allowing at least  2-3 hours  to complete the trip. This gives ample time for breaks to enjoy the scenery and attractions that line the highway.

There are several must-see spots along the Highway 33 Rollercoaster that are worth a visit:

  • Wildcat Mountain State Park : A popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, this park offers hiking, camping, and breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes. Don’t miss the park’s numerous overlooks, which provide stunning vantage points to admire the beauty of Wisconsin.
  • Reedsburg : A charming small town, Reedsburg features an array of quaint shops, eateries, and parks to explore. If you’re a history buff, you’ll appreciate the town’s historic downtown district.
  • Baraboo : Another delightful stop, Baraboo boasts a lively downtown area and unique attractions such as the International Crane Foundation and Circus World Museum.

The Highway 33 Rollercoaster offers a  moderate level of difficulty . The route is packed with curves and elevation changes, requiring riders to be confident in their ability to handle the challenges. This ride is ideal for experienced motorcyclists seeking an adrenaline-pumping adventure.

Before embarking on your journey, it’s essential to note the following:

  • Stay vigilant for wildlife, as deer and other animals are known to inhabit the area.
  • Be mindful of farm equipment and slow-moving vehicles on the road.
  • Use caution when navigating the route’s sharp turns and elevation changes.

5. Wildcat Mountain State Park Loop

Wildcat Mountain State Park Loop

This loop offers a scenic ride through the heart of the driftless region, presenting twists, turns, and incredible views. Here’s everything you need to know:

The ideal time to visit the Wildcat Mountain State Park Loop is from  May to October . During these months, the weather is relatively mild, allowing for an enjoyable ride without worrying about road conditions. Keep in mind, it’s essential to check the forecast before your trip, as weather can be unpredictable.

This picturesque route covers approximately  33 miles  and takes around  1-1.5 hours  to complete. Keep in mind that the actual duration may vary depending on your speed and the number of stops you make along the way.

Make sure to take advantage of some noteworthy stops along the loop:

  • Wildcat Mountain State Park : With breathtaking views of the Kickapoo River, the park offers hiking, camping, and picnicking opportunities.
  • Ontario : A small, quaint town is perfect for a quick stop to grab a bite or explore local shops.
  • Kickapoo Valley Reserve : Over 8,500 acres of forest, prairie, and wetland habitat, this reserve is ideal for taking in the serene landscapes or exploring trails on foot or horseback.

I’d classify the Wildcat Mountain State Park Loop as a  moderate  route for motorcyclists. The road has a good surface, but the numerous twists and turns require riders to stay alert and maintain control throughout the ride. It’s not the most challenging route but would not recommend it to the absolute beginner.

Other Information

  • Always make sure to follow local traffic laws and ride at a safe speed.
  • Keep an eye out for wildlife, as deer and other animals can make unexpected appearances on the road.
  • Take a moment to appreciate the stunning scenery and unique geological features of the driftless region.

6. Black River State Forest Trails

Black River State Forest Trails

This beautiful route offers a unique experience for any motorcycle enthusiast looking to explore the state’s natural beauty.

Ideally, the best time to visit and enjoy the Black River State Forest Trails would be from late spring through early fall. During this period, you’ll be able to enjoy comfortable temperatures and breathtaking foliage.

The entire Black River State Forest covers about 68,000 acres, and the main loop stretches for approximately 69 miles. For most riders, this scenic journey would typically take around 2 to 3 hours to complete, but of course, the total time may vary depending on your speed and frequency of stops along the way.

As you venture through the scenic trails, there are a few noteworthy stops to enhance your experience:

  • Castle Mound Campground : A perfect spot to take a break and enjoy the surrounding natural beauty.
  • Black River State Forest Headquarters : Stop by to gather information about the trails, local flora, fauna, and history.
  • Pigeon Creek : A lovely area to relax, enjoy the views, and maybe even have a picnic.

The Black River State Forest Trails are considered moderately challenging. While there are no significant steep inclines or sharp turns, some sections of gravel and sand may pose a challenge to less-experienced riders. That being said, it’s definitely worth navigating those sections to experience the awe-inspiring views of Wisconsin’s natural landscapes.

Before heading out to explore the Black River State Forest Trails, keep these key points in mind:

  • A map of the trails can be found online or at the Black River State Forest Headquarters.
  • Ensure that you have a state trail pass, as it’s required for motorcycle riding on the trails.
  • Be prepared for wildlife, as there are plenty of deer and other animals in the area.
  • Pay attention to trail signs and be respectful of other trail users.

7. Elroy-Sparta State Trail Adventure

Elroy-Sparta State Trail Adventure

Wisconsin’s Elroy-Sparta State Trail is truly an adventure worth embarking on. As America’s first railroad trail, it offers a diverse and picturesque experience I highly recommend for any motorcycle enthusiast. I’ll guide you through the essential information you’ll need for this journey:

Many agree that late spring, summer, and early fall are ideal for tackling the Elroy-Sparta State Trail. You’ll enjoy the most pleasant weather and take in the trail’s full beauty during these months.

The trail stretches for 32.5 miles, which should take around 1-2 hours to complete, depending on your speed and stops along the way.

During your ride, be sure to visit these notable attractions:

  • The three tunnels: These historic railroad tunnels are a must-see. Constructed during the late 1800s, they now serve as unique and enjoyable break spots while on your ride.
  • Elroy Commons: Located at the start of the trail, this spot offers parking, restrooms, and picnic areas.
  • Sparta Trail Depot: This former train depot, located at the end of the trail, now serves as a trail information center, offering restrooms and souvenirs.

The Elroy-Sparta State Trail is considered beginner-friendly, as it mostly consists of crushed limestone with a relatively flat and stable surface.

  • Be aware that the trail requires a Wisconsin State Trail Pass, which can be purchased at select trailheads or online.
  • Since the trail is also open to cyclists and pedestrians, remember to use caution and be respectful of others sharing the path.
  • Lodging and dining options are available in both Elroy and Sparta, as well as bike and motorcycle rental services if needed.

8. Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest Ride

Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest Ride

This picturesque route offers riders a serene and beautiful escape from the everyday hustle and bustle. Let me break down some ride characteristics for you.

The ideal time to explore this ride is from late spring to early fall. During these months, you’ll likely experience mild temperatures and clear skies, perfect for a comfortable journey.

The Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest Ride extends for approximately 125 miles. You’ll want to allocate around 3-4 hours to complete the ride, but I recommend setting aside a full day to enjoy any stops along the way.

 There are several noteworthy stops to consider during your ride:

  • The  Delta Diner,  a classic 1940s-inspired roadside restaurant, is perfect for a satisfying meal.
  • Morgan Falls and St. Peter’s Dome  offer a scenic hike to stretch your legs and take in some amazing views.
  • Cable-Namakagon Historical Museum  allows you a chance to learn more about the area’s history.

I’d rate this ride as a moderate difficulty. While the roads are well-maintained, they do feature some twisty sections and elevation changes that may challenge less experienced riders.

 A few more tidbits to help you plan your journey:

  • You can find gas stations, restaurants, and lodging options in the towns of Hayward, Cable, and Clam Lake.
  • Make sure to carry a camera, as the area is abundant with wildlife and beautiful landscapes.
  • Cellular reception may be spotty at times, so it’s a good idea to have a paper map or a GPS device at hand.

Motorcycling in wisconsin: 5 excellent destinations, discover wisconsin, july 1, 2015, fall | food & drink | history | outdoor recreation | summer | things to do.

If you love motorcycling, you’ll love Wisconsin. I had the honor of meeting up with groups as far south as Platteville and as far north as Cable while we were filming Wisconsin’s Western Ride  for Discover Wisconsin, and it is now completely evident to me how folks fall in love with the open air on the open road. Nothing beats that wind-in-your-hair feeling! The only problem is: I now find myself daydreaming about touring the state on my very own decked-out Harley. With this super sweet helmet . (Hey, a girl can dream!) Whether you’re a veteran motorcyclist or a newbie on wheels, here are just a few of the state’s top riding routes and destinations to discover by motorcycle:

10 of the Best Motorcycle Rides in Wisconsin

motorcycle loans and rides in Wisconsin

Can you think of a better way to explore the state of Wisconsin than on a motorcycle?

While there are a limited number of months when the weather is right, taking advantage of all the scenic routes around our state should be on every biker’s bucket list. So, whether you’ve got a motorcycle waiting for you in the garage or you’re still dreaming of owning your first Harley, make plans to take all ten of these Wisconsin rides.

(Note: If you think your own bike is just a dream, ask a Unison Member advisor about our competitive motorcycle loans .)

1. The Door County Day Trip

If you live in Northeast Wisconsin, one of the first places you take your motorcycle should be Door County. MotorcycleRoads.us suggests starting at the southern end of the Door Peninsula on Bay Shore Drive and heading up County Highway B through Sturgeon Bay to just north of Egg Harbor.

That’s about a 30-minute ride one way. But, if you want to make an entire day out of it, you could travel around the entire peninsula, heading back south along the lakeside on State Highway 57. Expect lots of natural beauty and plenty of sweeping curves along the way.

2. Kettle Moraine Zig Zag

Just south of the Fox Valley is the Kettle Moraine State Forest, which biker Terry Adams says offers an excellent ride, even if you get a bit lost.

“You really can’t lose because it’s all beautiful scenery,” he says in a post on MotorcycleRoads.com . This area features rock structures formed by two glaciers that crashed into each other millions of years ago.

Adams has a suggested a route that starts west of Sheboygan in the small town of Greenbush. However, he realizes his directions are somewhat confusing and encourages you to explore the area on your own.

3. Milwaukee – Motorcycle Mecca

harley museum motorcycle ride

Harley Davidson Museum, Milwaukee

Every motorcycle lover should  journey to the home of Harley-Davidson, no matter what kind of bike you ride. When you’re in the Brew City, you’ll find plenty to do. Of course, you need to schedule a trip to the Harley-Davidson museum where you’ll discover the history behind what’s arguably the most famous thing produced in Wisconsin … after cheese.

Skip interstates 43 and 41 for this trip in favor of the backroads. Road Trip America lays out a route that takes you from Oshkosh, past the Horicon National Wildlife Refuge and east towards Milwaukee.

4. The Winding Wolf River

Take State Highway 55 and enjoy this woodsy ride through the Menominee Indian Reservation following the Wolf River.

On MotorcycleRoads.com , Mike H. suggests a route starting in Shawano and taking Hwy 55 north for more than 60 miles. Bikers who’ve taken this trip say there are some nice, sweeping curves and you’ll also spend a little time riding through the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest .

5. A “Driftless” Drive

Driftless Wisconsin motorcycle ride

A view from the Driftless region

The Driftless Area, or Paleozoic Plateau, is found in Southwestern Wisconsin as well as parts of Minnesota and Iowa. The region is known for deeply carved river valleys and includes Blue Mound State Park .

Many motorcycle enthusiasts recommend this area for some of the best scenery in the entire state. You’ll find a variety of landscapes, from rocky cliffs and forests to grasslands and the Mississippi River. Check out the website Driftless Destinations to find routes, attractions, dining, and more – all specifically chosen for motorcycle riders.

6. The Maritime Tour

Check out Wisconsin’s lakeshore as you drive through rolling hills along State Highway 42. Travel Wisconsin recommends taking this ride in the autumn to enjoy the fall colors along the coast of Lake Michigan.

Potential stops along the way could include the historic Rogers Street Fishing Village in Two Rivers as well as the von Stiehl Winery and Ahnapee Brewery in Algoma. Just remember to ride responsibly!

7. An Island Destination

Apostle Islands Wisconsin motorcycle ride

Motorcycles on the Madeline Island Ferry

If you live in the Fox Cities or Green Bay area, you’ve likely been to Door County more than once. However, too many of us in Northeast Wisconsin forget about the beauty of Bayfield and Ashland counties. A trip to this truly “up north” destination will give you the chance to experience Lake Superior.

You could schedule a visit to see the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore and take your bike on the ferry to Madeline Island. That’s the only Apostle Island that has motor vehicles or any type of commercial development.

To help plan your trip, tourism officials from Ashland County have put together a motorcycle tour map . They suggest planning a stay that lasts several days because there is so much to see.

8. Around the Big Lake

Wisconsin’s largest inland lake offers hilly landscapes, farmland, and small towns to explore as you take a trip around Winnebago … just watch out for those lake flies.

Open Road Journey maps out a 200-mile trip that will take you about four hours. However, there are plenty of parks to stop at along the ride if you want to slow things down. Plus, for bikers who are also into racing, the Wisconsin International Raceway isn’t far off the route and, in the summer, you could catch boat races on Lake Winnebago at Menominee Park.

9. The Delta Diner Run

Delta Diner Wisconsin motorcycle ride

Outside the famous Delta Diner

Motorcycles and greasy spoon diners go hand in hand, which is why we’re recommending this Northwestern Wisconsin ride featuring a hidden gem of a restaurant.

The Delta Diner is a fun, retro-style roadside attraction near Iron River where you can get burgers, sandwiches, and a variety of what the establishment describes as “eclectic menu items.” It’s even been featured on the Food Network show, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives with Guy Fieri . This diner proudly proclaims it can be found “at the center of the middle of nowhere.”

Take note … Delta Diner’s hours are 8 am to 4 pm Tuesday through Sunday, and they’re open until around 7 pm on Mondays. So, plan on stopping for lunch or an early dinner, unless you’re looking to have some of their jalapeno pancakes for breakfast.

10. Double Z Along the Fox River

Here’s the perfect starter ride for new motorcycle owners living in the Fox Valley or De Pere area. Travis Van Camp explains that you can start in Kaukauna or De Pere and head north or south on County Roads Z and ZZ hugging the Fox River for a good portion of the route.

He suggests stopping for a burger in Wrightstown. It’s nice to know you don’t have to travel far from home to enjoy the outdoors in Wisconsin.

The Best Thing About Owning a Motorcycle

Of course, one of the most gratifying things about having a motorcycle is the chance to find your own favorite routes. Motorcycles give you the freedom to explore and have adventures on the road.

If owning a motorcycle has been a dream of yours, maybe it’s time to stop fantasizing and move towards making it a reality. Life is too short to be missing out on the exhilarating experience of having the wind at your back as you ride a powerful machine away from all your worries.

Unison Credit Union is here to help you find the road that makes your motorcycle dreams come true. Our motorcycle loans feature competitive rates, and our helpful Member Advisors are waiting to answer all your questions. Visit one of our locations in Kaukauna, Wrightstown, De Pere, Little Chute, or Grand Chute and let’s talk.

We've selected the best motorcycle rides in Wisconsin to ensure you see everything in America's Dairyland. Simply open the REVER app, select a region below and head out on an unforgettable ride today.

Tips For The Best Wisconsin Motorcycle Rides

REVER is the premier navigation app for Wisconsin motorcycle routes built by riders for riders. It is free to download right now, and you can get started in seconds. Open hand-picked routes from experienced riders all over the world, or track your favorite routes and share them with fellow riders for bragging rights. Ready to do some serious touring in Wisconsin? You're going to need REVER Pro before you go. Utilize turn by turn navigation, weather alerts, points of interest notifications and Butler Maps recommendations to ensure you never miss a thing out on the road.

The change in seasons is quite dramatic in The Dairy State, and you'll want to plan carefully for motorcycle rides in WI. The summers are warm and pleasant throughout much of the state. You don't really have to worry about extreme heat too often, so 4 season riding gear will get the job done most of the time. If you live in Wisconsin or visit during the winter, you'll want to keep your bike in the garage most days as the state sees substantial snowfall and regular dips into sub-zero temperatures. Prepare for cooler temps on spring and fall rides by adding quality base layers to your gear collection.

Wisconsin Attractions

Every visit to Wisconsin should start with a tour of its natural beauty. The southwestern region is known as the “driftless area” as it did not receive the glaciation that flattened nearby states like Illinois and Indiana. Nothing beats a day of riding through the hills and rivers of the driftless area on your bike. Or you can cruise along the shore of Lake Michigan up to the sleepy peninsula of Door County. This secluded area almost feels like you've stepped back into a simpler time, and the views of the lake are breathtaking. While you're in the area, be sure to head into Green Bay to see Lambeau Field. Even if there isn't a Packers game going on, you can tour the stadium and join the longest season ticket waiting list in sports. No visit to Wisconsin is complete without tasting its state treasures of cheese, brats and beer! Milwaukee is often called the beer capital of the world, and you can tour large breweries like Miller and Pabst as well as up and coming craft breweries like Black Husky and City Lights. But for the best craft beer in the state, you need to head west to New Glarus, WI to visit New Glarus Brewing. This award-winning brewer makes the famous Spotted Cow that can only be purchased in the state of Wisconsin. Prost!

10 of the Best Motorcycle Rides in Wisconsin

motorcycle loans and rides in Wisconsin

Client : Unison Credit Union Original article

Can you think of a better way to explore the state of Wisconsin than on a motorcycle?

While there are a limited number of months when the weather is right, taking advantage of all the scenic routes around our state should be on every biker’s bucket list. So, whether you’ve got a motorcycle waiting for you in the garage or you’re still dreaming of owning your first Harley, make plans to take all ten of these Wisconsin rides.

(Note: If you think your own bike is just a dream, ask a Unison Member advisor about our  competitive motorcycle loans .)

1. The Door County Day Trip

If you live in Northeast Wisconsin, one of the first places you take your motorcycle should be Door County.  MotorcycleRoads.us  suggests starting at the southern end of the Door Peninsula on Bay Shore Drive and heading up County Highway B through Sturgeon Bay to just north of Egg Harbor.

That’s about a 30-minute ride one way. But, if you want to make an entire day out of it, you could travel around the entire peninsula, heading back south along the lake side on State Highway 57. Expect lots of natural beauty and plenty of sweeping curves along the way.

2. Kettle Moraine Zig Zag

Just south of the Fox Valley is the Kettle Moraine State Forest, which biker Terry Adams says offers an excellent ride, even if you get a bit lost.

“You really can’t lose because it’s all beautiful scenery,” he says in a post on  MotorcycleRoads.com . This area features rock structures formed by two glaciers that crashed into each other millions of years ago.

Adams has a suggested a route that starts west of Sheboygan in the small town of Greenbush. However, he realizes his directions are somewhat confusing and encourages you to explore the area on your own.

3. Milwaukee – Motorcycle Mecca

Harley Davidson Museum, Milwaukee

Every motorcycle lover should  journey to the home of Harley-Davidson, no matter what kind of bike you ride. When you’re in the Brew City, you’ll find plenty to do. Of course, you need to schedule a trip to the  Harley-Davidson museum  where you’ll discover the history behind what’s arguably the most famous thing produced in Wisconsin … after cheese.

Skip interstates 43 and 41 for this trip in favor of the backroads.  Road Trip America  lays out a route that takes you from Oshkosh, past the  Horicon National Wildlife Refuge  and east towards Milwaukee.

4. The Winding Wolf River

Take State Highway 55 and enjoy this woodsy ride through the Menominee Indian Reservation following the Wolf River.

On  MotorcycleRoads.com , Mike H. suggests a route starting in Shawano and taking Hwy 55 north for more than 60 miles. Bikers who’ve taken this trip say there are some nice, sweeping curves and you’ll also spend a little time riding through the  Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest .

3 friends drown after getting caught in whirlpool on trip to the mountains

SPRINGVILLE, Calif. (KSL) - Loved ones are mourning three friends from Utah who drowned after getting caught in a whirlpool while canyoneering in the Sierra Nevada mountain range.

David Bell was canyoneering Friday with a group of 13 friends, including Jeannine Skinner and Peter On, near the Seven Teacups area in Tulare County, California. That’s when Skinner jumped into a small pool, according to Bell’s sisters, Summerisa Bell Stevens and Valecia Green.

“A little 8-foot pool. From the top of the surface, you wouldn’t have been able to tell anything was wrong,” Bell Stevens said.

David Bell, Jeannine Skinner and Peter On (left to right) were canyoneering wtih a group of...

Despite the pool’s appearance, the group quickly realized something was wrong. Skinner appeared to be caught in an undercurrent and couldn’t get out of the water. Rushing to help, On jumped in, followed by Bell.

“It sounds like it was circular. They would kind of come under and come back up,” Green said.

“Dave was able to get himself out of the cycle at the same time that Pete went unconscious. But he saw that Jeannine was still in that pattern, so he went back and tried to get her out, as well,” Bell Stevens said.

All three lost consciousness. Their friends were able to pull them out within seven minutes, but it was too late; they had drowned.

As loved ones process the tragedy, they’re clinging onto their faith and doing all they can to keep the trio’s memories alive.

“These are three amazing, amazing individuals who will be very, very missed by family, friends and the community at large,” Green said.

Bell’s sisters describe their brother as a friend to everyone. He was the co-founder of the Harrington Center for the Arts, a nonprofit in American Fork, Utah, and owner of Runtastic Events, the creative force behind several marathons across the state.

“He loved making moments really special for people,” Bell Stevens said. “I think that’s where he thrived. There wasn’t anything that he wouldn’t do for anyone.”

“He loved being outside. He felt like he connected with God outside and with friends and people,” Green said.

A marathon will be held next month in honor of Bell, Skinner and On. Other events are planned to celebrate their lives.

GoFundMe pages have been set up to help Bell’s family and Skinner’s family with funeral costs and other expenses related to their unexpected deaths.
