How do you Sheboygan in the Fall?

Fall colors in Wisconsin can be seen most anywhere in the state, but the most beautiful colors are found in the Kettle Moraine State Forest. There are some special areas and times when the colors are at their best in the Kettles. Start exploring Sheboygan County. There are more than 30,000 acres of forest to see.

Highway 23 West from Sheboygan. Travel this highway until you come to County Highway A in Greenbush. Turn left on Highway A, and proceed into Greenbush. At the intersection of Highway A and Highway P, make a left onto Highway P. This is the start of the scenic drive.

Plan a drive on Highway P–otherwise known as scenic drive–in early to mid-October, the colors are at their peak. The scenic drive is lined with trees on both sides, and the colors are bright. There are areas along Highway P where one can stop and take pictures.

Continue on Highway P to Highway 67. Turn left on 67 for short ride to Highway P again, and turn right. This will take you down a long road with beautiful colors in a distance and along the road, as well. Keep going straight on Highway P to Parnell Tower.

Turn right into the parking lot of Parnell Tower and park. Here you can climb to the top of the tower that overlooks the Kettles. When the colors are at their peak, the pictures and views are incredible.

Descend from the tower, and hike one of the four different hiking trails at the bottom. Each trail tells you how many miles it is and how long it takes to walk. You will go deep into the Kettles and see some beautiful colors, as well as ground flowers that spring up during the fall.
