Langlade County<br />

Because <strong>of</strong> its diverse terrain and<br />

unending scenery, many consider<br />

Parrish Highlands one <strong>of</strong> the top<br />

trail systems in <strong>Wisconsin</strong>. Fifty-five<br />

miles <strong>of</strong> trail here access a<br />

portion <strong>of</strong> the 127,000-<br />

acre Langlade County<br />

Forest. In a word, it is<br />

blissful riding.<br />

Throw a leg over<br />

your quad and listen to it<br />

rumble as you glide through<br />

the forest. This is terrain<br />

made to be experienced from a<br />

four-wheeler. Throughout the Parrish<br />

Highlands trail system, rolling hills and tall<br />

hardwoods greet you. In the summer, the<br />

canopy <strong>of</strong> leaves overhead screens the<br />

afternoon sun while framing a picture<br />

postcard view <strong>of</strong> the forest. Around every<br />

turn and over every hill, nature awaits.<br />
