Best Body of Water for Recreation
Lake Wissota, held within the beautiful Lake Wissota State Park, has claimed the No. 1 spot in this category since 2014. That’s a generational run and speaks for itself. The Chippewa River has snagged the runner-up slot for as long, too, the 200-mile flow not to be left behind. Breaking back into the top three this year is Lake Holcombe, a sweet spot for boating or kayaking, fishing and more. —McKenna Scherer
