Admitted in 1848, Wisconsin is home to iconic natural landmarks such as Wisconsin Dells, with its striking sandstone formations and waterparks, and the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, known for pristine beaches, forests, and historical sites along the shores of Lake Superior.

The northern part of the state, commonly known as the Northwoods, is characterized by vast forests, lakes, and a strong outdoor culture.
