EAGLE — Kettle Moraine State Forest is one of the top hidden-gem picnic spots in Wisconsin, according to a recent survey.
Mixbook conducted a poll involving 3,000 respondents who were asked to pick the top off-the-radar picnic spots across the U.S.
Number One was Leu Gardens in Orlando, Florida. In a statement, Mixbook said the botanical garden offers tranquil picnic spots among its diverse plant collections.
Two Wisconsin locations were among the 125 spots identified in the survey — Kettle Moraine State Forest in Eagle and Devil’s Lake State Park in Baraboo.
Devil’s Lake ranked 32, while Kettle Moraine came in at No. 99.
Kettle Moraine covers over 22,000 acres of forested glacial hills, kettle lakes and prairies.
“This forest offers scenic picnic areas with views of the rolling hills and dense woodlands,” Mixbook said. “The park’s natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere create a great picnic setting.”
The Southern Unit has over 100 miles of mountain biking, horseback riding, hiking and nature trails, with paddling, boating, swimming, fishing, hunting and winter sport opportunities.
There are three family campgrounds, a horseriders camp, two group camps and remote backpack shelters along the Ice Age Trail, according to the Wisconsin DNR.
