some of the most colorful fall scenery and highlighting points of interest
along the route.
A place for all seasons . . .
Richland County is known for its outstanding year-round scenic
highways. There are four distinct seasons, each with its own spectacular
beauty.
In springtime, the green hillsides are interlaced by contour
farming and the highways are lined with wildflowers and spring blossoms.
Canoeing and kayaking begin on the Wisconsin, Pine, and Kickapoo rivers, and
the hikers and bikers start frequenting the Pine River Recreation Trail that runs
between Richland Center and Lone Rock.
In Summer, the agricultural crops begin to change the colors of
the fields to rich greens, and dairy cows dot the hillsides . . . you’ll need to
have your camera handy. More than 260 miles of class 1 and class 2 trout
streams attract anglers to Richland County each year, and the
Pine River Recreation Trail, as well as several other onroad bike routes
that range from 10 miles to 65 miles, draw bicyclists.
Autumn’s harvest time brings out the red, yellow, orange and rust
of maples and oaks. Stop at the farmers’ markets and roadside stands
for a taste of fall's bounty. Wild turkeys are abundant and can often be
seen grazing in recently harvested fields. The bike paths are especially
beautiful this time of year.
Winter’s blanket of white snow covers the landscape and brings a quiet
tranquility to the hillsides and valleys. Richland County has 134 miles of groomed
snowmobile trails that enthusiasts come from all over to enjoy. Ice skating at
Krouskop Park, cross country skiing or snowmobiling on the Pine River Recreation
Trail and ice fishing add to winter’s fun. White-tailed deer, rabbit, wild turkey and
many more animals are frequently spotted.
