Between Minneapolis And Green Bay Is An Idyllic Nature Escape With Scenic Wetlands, Wildlife, And Trails
On the 4-to-5-hour drive between Minneapolis and Green Bay, you might make pit stops in Eau Claire and Wausau, two of the largest cities along the way. But take the detour off Wisconsin Highway 29, and you'll end up at George W. Mead Wildlife Area, one of Wisconsin's largest nature preserves. The sprawling 33,000-acre wildlife sanctuary is located in the Little Eau Pleine River valley, and it's the ideal place to slow down and soak up Wisconsin's peaceful side. At the nature escape, visitors can spot trumpeter swans gracefully swimming in grassy ponds, herons stalking the shallow wetlands, and deer grazing near the tree line.
