10 Gear Rentals in Wisconsin That You Shouldn't Miss
When you think “adventure travel” you probably think of far-flung places like Belize and Alaska—not Wisconsin. But if you’re an outdoor adventurer, you’ll find plenty of places to explore in Wisconsin. A vacation in Wisconsin can put you close to the Kettle Moraine State Forest, which has excellent biking trails. Or choose Wisconsin’s Apostle Islands—kayakers will love exploring Lake Superior’s many caves and shipwrecks.
Packers fans don’t wear those cheese-wedge hats for nothing! Foodies will love tasting as many of Wisconsin’s artisanal cheeses as possible. Either drive from cheesemaker to cheesemaker, or choose a Wisconsin vacation in a town with a good farmers’ market—then the cheesemakers bring their wares to you. And what goes better with artisanal cheese than craft beer? In Milwaukee, visit the Lakefront and Sprecher Breweries for tours and tastings.
Wisconsin Dells is a classic family vacation destination. A vacation in Wisconsin Dells will put you close to all the excitement—you’ll have to tear the kids away from the theme parks, wave pools and water parks in Wisconsin Dells!
Lake Geneva boasts clean beaches, golf, and a small-town feel that definitely appeals to city dwellers—it’s a popular getaway for residents of Chicago.

We’d been fat tire biking one time before and loved it, so we were very excited to check out what Nor Door Sports had to offer. My husband and I love snow sports, so we brought our own helmets – they also have helmets to rent. Stretch was so accommodating and helped us with our rentals. After a quick tutorial, he gave us a great map of the nearby trails in Peninsula State Park, and we were on our way. As I mentioned, we’ve done snow biking before in mountainous terrain, but were completely blown away by how beautiful the scenery and trails were in the park. About halfway through our ride, snow started falling – and the only way I can describe it is magical. I would recommend bringing goggles or sunglasses (fat snowflakes can definitely get into your eyes) but overall, such an amazing way to get active during winter months!

We made a spontaneous trip up to Door County for a few days and wanted to cruise Peninsula State Park on a nice day so we rented a couple of mopeds and had an absolute blast. The folks were great in getting us set up with helmets and gloves as it was chilly. The Yamaha’s they rent were great. And in an hour we went across the entire park and checked out tee times at the golf course for later in the day. Next time I’d do the two hour rental and make more stops. Great fun!

Simply the best boat rental experience we've ever had. The boat was pristine. The check-in dockside was simple and fast, the staff was friendly and professional (all college students), and the orientation to the boat was quick and very thorough. The attendant went over every scratch and dent and made sure we understood how to safely operate the boat. Upon return, the attendants met us at the end of the pier and even parked the boat for us. If you haven't enjoyed boating on Lake Geneva, then get over to Jerry's Majestic Marine, rent a boat, and have a great day on one of the best resort lakes in America.
