Outdoor Enthusiast Itinerary

Famous nation-wide for striking scenery and varied terrain, the outdoor enthusiast visiting Whitewater Wisconsin is in for a treat.

While you may not have time to enjoy all that the Kettle Moraine State Forest has to offer, it would be a downright shame for the true nature lover not to spend at least an hour or two in this unique, glacial carved landscape. Self-guided hiking and biking trails wind their way through miles of kettles, lakes, glacial hills, prairie restoration sites and forests. For a little education along the way, join one of the Guided Walks that depart twice weekly year round and are offered at no charge to all interested. Group Biking offers another opportunity to explore your surroundings as you get to know other like minded individuals. For those interested in a shorter trip, several biking and hiking paths meander across Whitewater and through local parks. Hiking and biking maps are available at no charge, and bikes can be rented for those who left their two-wheeled conveyance at home.

The Whitewater area offers some excellent canoeing as well as outfitters for all your supplies. After an afternoon of hard paddling, why not take a snack break at Steffen's Cherry Orchard for a sweet pick your own treat!

Kill two birds with one stone by participating in Geocaching. Enjoy the outdoors while you travel through town locating all of the communities hidded treasures.

Spend a day swimming at the beach on Whitewater Lake or rent a boat and cruise the lake in style.

During the winter months snowshoes and cross country skis can be rented right on main street and enjoyed on area trails. Take a break at an area restaurant to warm up with a hot chocolate before heading back out for a quick snow angel and then right back on the trail.
