Copper Falls State Park
While the Badger State is known for many things - it's certainly not short of natural wonders, either. It's especially popular with hikers and outdoor enthusiasts thanks to its numerous lovely waterfalls. While some of the most attractive are set in relatively remote locations, many are within easy reach of major urban centers. One of the most popular Wisconsin destinations for waterfalls is Copper Falls State Park.
Just a few minutes drive north of the small town of Mellen, this beautiful park is, in fact, home to no less than three waterfalls. If you visit Wisconsin in the fall, then you should head to Copper Falls State Park to experience amazing foliage. This beautiful park is comprised of gorges, waterfalls, and ancient lava flows. There are many hiking trails for exploring the park and finding wildlife. Some animals that you may spot in the park include black bears, gray wolves, deer, raccoons, and chipmunks. There are also over 200 species of birds seen here throughout the year. Of course, you have to see the titular Copper Falls! If you come in the winter, you can enjoy the cross-country skiing trails.
