Hit the Road: Your Guide to Wisconsin State Parks This Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day weekend is just around the corner—and for many families across Wisconsin, that means it’s road trip season. With the weather finally warming up and summer calling, it’s the perfect time to head out to explore the beauty of Wisconsin’s state parks.

Whether you’re chasing waterfalls, hiking lush trails, or setting up camp by a quiet lake, the journey is just as important as the destination. That’s why Wheelers Family Auto Group is here to help you hit the road with confidence—whether you need a spacious SUV for the whole crew or a pre-trip checkup from a service team you trust.

🌲 Where to Go: Wisconsin’s Natural Treasures

From popular spots like Devil’s Lake and High Cliff to hidden gems tucked away in the Northwoods, Wisconsin is home to 50 state parks, 44 trails, 15 forests, and 15,000+ lakes. There’s something for every kind of adventurer—whether you’re a hiker, biker, paddler, or picnic-pro.

But with over 20 million visitors annually, Memorial Day weekend is one of the busiest times to visit. A little planning can make a big difference.

🗺️ Plan Ahead For a Smoother Trip

Here’s how to get ahead of the crowds and make the most of your outdoor weekend:

• Buy your park pass online before you go—no waiting at the gate.

• Reserve campsites early. Walk-ins aren’t accepted.

• Download maps and trail info ahead of time (especially in low-signal areas).

• Check out the DNR’s “Find A Park” tool to locate lesser-known spots with fewer crowds.

Road Trip Ready with Wheelers

A great road trip starts with a vehicle you can rely on—and Wheelers has you covered. Whether you’re driving a fully loaded SUV for the family, a fuel-efficient crossover for longer hauls, or a capable truck for hauling gear, Wheelers Family Auto Group has the right fit for your next adventure.

Already have your ride picked out? Bring it in for a pre-trip inspection from Wheelers’ trusted service team. We’ll check your tires, fluids, brakes, and more to help make sure you’re ready for whatever the road (or the trailhead) throws your way.
