Stevens Point
Stevens Point is the center of the Stevens Point Micropolitan Statistical Area, which had a population of 70,377 in 2020, according to the US Census Bureau. Stevens Point is the home of the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point and a Mid-State Technical College campus. This is yet another Wisconsin destination that combines stunning natural beauty with sophisticated art and culture. This area was once a logging stop along the Wisconsin River; however, it now houses not one, but two universities. When in town, start by exploring the downtown area. Many of the best things to do in Stevens Point can be found there!
Visit the Riverfront Arts Center's gallery or the Scarabocchio Art Museum for unique art exhibits and workshops, as well as the historic farmers market (one of the oldest in the state of Wisconsin). During the summer, stroll around the public square fountains or take part in Riverfront Rendezvous, one of the city's well-known community celebration festivals. The 27-mile Green Circle Trail is ideal for hiking or biking, and the Iverson Park Winter Sports Area offers ice skating and toboggan slides. Overall, the town offers a wide range of recreational opportunities for people of all ages. If you're interested in history, start by looking at the murals on downtown buildings and then go to the Stevens Point Area Convention and Visitors Bureau for more information on those murals and much more.
