Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Brunet Island State Park adventure.
Discover Brunet Island State Park's serene waterways and trails. Â
What locals refer to as the âNorth Woods,â the North Central Forest of Wisconsin is actually a ground moraine created by an ancient glacier 12,000 years ago. At the heart of the North Woods is Brunet Island State Park, an island in the Chippewa River cut up by smaller streams, inlets and hiking trails. Think Moonrise Kingdom but slightly more landlocked.
Take a quiet stroll down the Jean Brunet Trail through thick hemlock forest. Tread lightly and you may even catch a glimpse of a deer. If itâs adventure and treasure youâre looking for, grab a paddle and co-pilot and explore all the cracks and crevices of Brunet Island by canal. No matter which way you spin it, youâll be chilling hard.
The ideal time to visit Brunet Island State Park is during the warmer months, from late spring to early fall, when the park's full splendor is on display. Winter offers a stark, quiet beauty, but some activities may be limited. Avoid peak holiday weekends for a more tranquil experience.
