5 Bridges in Wisconsin That You Shouldn't Miss

April 28, 2022 Christa Meece

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.

The bridge is located in a beautiful park. Great place to take a picnic lunch and sit by the river and enjoy the quiet.

Visited the Swinging Bridge with the family (kids are 7 & 10). Glen Park above has lots to do- a couple of playgrounds, picnic tables, a splash pad (was open), and a pool (looked closed for COVID). The bridge had a great view of the river below. We took a dirt path basically straight down from the bridge to the river below right next to the 1st falls. The climb was steep. There is also a paved path that leads down to the 2nd falls. From there you can walk along the river to the other waterfall. When we went I think there was some extra water. They had gotten 9 inches earlier in the week, so a couple of places we took our shoes off to cross. Normally you might not have to. This was the first time we had been there. Recommend wearing water shoes and a swim suit as you can walk along (in) the river and swim in the water by the falls under the bridge. The area is really pretty! Recommend a stop to see!
