The Great Lakes are so big—you can see them from outer space! But, the cool thing is, they are right in Wisconsin’s backyard—close enough to visit and explore.

Next time you visit a state park or forest along Lake Michigan or Lake Superior, ask to borrow one of the four Great Lakes ParkPacks. Each one helps you learn about the Great Lakes and is filled with activities, books, and other materials. You'll discover the lakes, splash in the water, and find out how to take care of this great resource. Click below to see the pack and find out what adventures are inside.
