With reds, yellows, and golds galore, we wish Wisconsin’s fall colors would never leave! Whether it’s Door County, the Wisconsin River, or the Horicon Marsh, fall foliage is an event not to miss. If you want an unobstructed view, we’ve scouted a few locations that stand head and shoulders – and another 40 feet, or so – above the rest.
Northern Wisconsin
Rib Mountain State Park: This billion-year-old geological feature affords an amazing view of the Wisconsin River Valley below.
Timm’s Hill County Park: The highest point in Wisconsin, visit the observation tower for a 30-mile view around Bass Lake in Ogema.
Peninsula State Park: With high bluffs, sandy beaches and a 1860s lighthouse, take in a relaxing autumn view over Fish Creek.

Southern Wisconsin
Lapham Peak: The 45-foot observation tower is the highest point in Waukesha County and provides a breathtaking 360-degree view of the surrounding countryside.
Devil’s Lake State Park: Wisconsin's largest state park offering magnificent views from 500-foot Quartzite bluffs overlooking a 360-acre lake.
The Geneva Lake Shore Path: A paved path that affords one heck of a view of the lake, the surrounding fall colors, and the beautiful mansions and houses in the area.
Holy Hill: Climb to the top of this architecturally beautiful church built atop a glacial hill and see the fall colors for miles and miles
