4.0 out of 5 stars What to do in the Midwest, January 11, 2003

By	Walter Reade (Appleton, WI United States) - See all my reviews

Wisconsin Trails magazine is a good-looking and informative publication that deals with the many different aspects of life in Wisconsin. This includes topics such as festivals, water parks, snowshoeing, skiing, birding, art exhibitions, history tours, small towns, recipes, and much more. The photographs are beautiful and add quite a bit to the magazine. The ads are in good taste and do not detract from the magazine content. This is a very good and helpful resource.

4.0 out of 5 stars one of the better state magazines, well worth it for this homesick ex-midwesterner, September 30, 2009

By	Muzzlehatch (the walls of Gormenghast) - See all my reviews

When I moved to New England in the fall of 2000, the one thing I asked my mother for Christmas was a subscription to "Wisconsin Trails", a magazine which my parents had been getting since it was called "Wisconsin Tales and Trails" back in the 1960s I think. The magazine has had it's ups and downs over the years; like many such publications it might seem to be getting more and more dumbed-down over the long haul, but I do think that in the last couple of years there has been something of an upswing. A recent article on farm, dairy and winery/brewery tours was pretty well-constructed and comprehensive I thought; and the magazine as ever tries to spotlight the occasional old, rundown industrial town that's trying to get back on it's feet, which I think is a nice and valuable thing to do - who needs an article on Door County, the Dells, Madison or Milwaukee every issue? Though those spots are all featured quite frequently.

Heavy on the advertising of course, as are most such publications - I get "Vermont Life" occasionally which is perhaps a little less ad-heavy but still in the same ballpark - but just about all of the ads are for homegrown businesses. Overall, it's glossy and pretty digestible, maybe even forgettable - but better than it has to be, and a standout amongst midwestern travel/tourist publications.
