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 />
