Nicolet National Forest
A vast sea of green featuring ancient hemlocks and sugar maples that stretch to the horizon.
Eagle River Chain of Lakes
The world's largest chain of 28 connected freshwater lakes, visible as a sapphire-blue network below.
Vilas County Lake District
One of the highest concentrations of inland lakes in the world, creating a shimmering mosaic of water.
Brule River State Forest
The rugged river valley that serves as a natural border crossing between Wisconsin and Michigan.
Choose this side for the best lake photography. During the autumn months (late September to early October), the foliage on this side is spectacular. Since the flight is very short and at a lower altitude, keep your camera ready from the moment of takeoff to capture the lake patterns.
