Wisconsin can be divided into four main geographical regions, each covering roughly one-quarter of the state's land area. The most highly elevated of these is the Superior Upland, which has heavily forested rolling hills but no high mountains. A second upland region, called the Driftless Area, has a more rugged terrain, having been largely untouched by the glacial drifts that smoothed out topographical features in other parts of the state. The third region is a large, crescent-shaped plain in central Wisconsin. Finally, in the east and southeast along Lake Michigan lies a large, glaciated lowland plain. All regions of this beautiful state offer residents and visitors many opportunities for boating, fishing, skiing, and other outdoor recreation.
