Fremont wi here. (45 min west of Appleton) got a couple different rigs. My 78 trailduster which I don’t use as much anymore because the old girl is thirsty! Lol but am just getting my 90 Cherokee back on road. Hopefully be taking that up to the UP here in the fall a few times before snow flys.

Just joined today. I'm just south of Waukesha. Know of any decent trails or camping spots near us?

I'm brand new to overlanding and trying to get my family out more. Do you have any good trail recommendations in Wisconsin or surrounding areas? The only trail in WI that I know if is the TWAT, which sounds pretty tame. Thanks!

I don't know if you could consider this "around" us (since it's a 5 hour drive) but we had a good time in Hiawatha National Forest. There are some reservable primitive camping spots but you can just disperse camp there.
Haven't been to Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest but that sounds promising

Sheboygan here.
I drove the northern half of the TWAT a couple summers ago. It *is* mostly pretty tame. There are a few somewhat sketchy spots in Chequamegon-Nicolet NF, mostly just a few large rocks, a little mud after it rains, and overgrown trees (watch your windshield!). It's a nice drive anyway, but definitely not would I would call an "adventure" trail.
When I was looking for spots for good offroading, I couldn't really find much here. I want to check out Mesabi Mountain in MN, but that's at least a weekend trip.

Just joining this conversation now.
My family and I live in Oostburg, which is just outside of Sheboygan.
We haven't started Overlanding yet but plan to start next year.
I have a full size GMC and we will be picking up an overland camper this winter.
Any recommendations for nearby activity and dispersed camping?

Love Defenders, sweet ride you got there. I used to drive a left side driver in Brazil and I totally miss it. How was your process importing the vehicle?
