While you won’t find any vast mountain ranges or 14,000-foot peaks in Wisconsin, there are a few trails that will get your heart pumping and reward you with mountain-like panoramic views. You’ll find one of these trails near the appropriately named community of Mountain and the hike is simply amazing. It’s not a long trail, but it’s not a walk in the park either. Here’s what’s waiting for you on the Chute Pond Overlook Trail.

You’ll find the start of this hike in Oconto County. It’s an easy day trip escape for much of the state – it’s about an hour drive from Green Bay and less than two hours from Milwaukee.

The hike is in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, a vast area of wild land that covers 1.5 million acres and includes some of the best hiking trails in the Midwest.

The trail starts near Chute Pond County Park & Campground. That park covers 167 acres and is on the 418-acre Chute Pond. It’s a pleasant place to camp if you want to spend some more time enjoying the area.

The view is incredible. On clear days you can see for miles and enjoy sights like Bagley Rapids, Green Lake, a radio tower in Suring that’s eight miles away, and the last remaining Forest Service fire lookout tower almost six miles away. Take plenty of time to catch your breath and soak it all in!
