If you’re going to go for a hike, might as well get a nice view out of it. Many trails in Wisconsin have great scenery. But there’s something about hiking in Copper Falls State Park, particularly Doughboys’ Trail. This 3,000 acre state park is located near Morse, Wisconsin. Through it flows the Bad River, which drops several times into beautiful waterfalls.
