Central Plain Wisconsin
For the most part, the Central Plain is a rural area of farmland and forests. Population is sparse. The city of Eau Claire is located on the southern border of the plain's northwest end, and is the region's largest city.
Other principal cities in the Central Plain region include Chippewa Falls and Menomonie in the northwest, as well as Stevens Point and Wisconsin Rapids along the Wisconsin River.
Eastern Ridges and Lowlands
The Eastern Ridges and Lowlands is a geographical region in the eastern part of the state, between the Bay
of Green Bay in the north and the state border with Illinois border in the south. Lake Michigan lies to the east of the region.
The majority of the region is covered by farmland. Many of Wisconsin's largest cities are located in the
Eastern Ridges and Lowlands region, including Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Kenosha, Racine, Appleton, and many more. The abundance of cities in the area make it Wisconsin's most populous region.
Lake Superior Lowland
The Lake Superior Lowland, also known as the Superior Coastal Plain, is a geographical region located in the
far northern part of the state bordering Lake Superior and does not extend beyond 20 miles from the Lake Superior shore.
Woodlands cover most of the Lake Superior Lowland. The region is sparsely populated. Two Ojibwa Indian
reservations are located along the shores of Lake Superior, the Bad River Indian Reservation and the Red Cliff Indian Reservation. The largest city in the area is Superior. Other cities include Ashland and Washburn.
Northern Highland Wisconsin
The region stretches from the state border with Minnesota in the west to the Michigan border in the east, and from Douglas and Bayfield Counties in the north to Wood and Portage Counties in the south.
The largest city in the region is Wausau. Other principal cities include Merrill, Rhinelander, and Ladysmith.
Despite the absence of large cities, tourism is an important part of the local economy. The region's numerous
lakes and forests make it a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts during the summer season.
Western Upland Wisconsin
The Western Upland is a geographical region covering much of the western half of the state. It stretches from
St. Croix County in the north to the state border with Illinois in the south, and from Rock County in the east to the Mississippi River in the west.
The largest city in the Western Upland is Janesville in the extreme southeast corner of the region. La Crosse
occupies a more central position along the Mississippi River. Other principal cities include Beloit, Monroe, Platteville, and Sparta.

Cuisine - Wisconsin Recipes
Known as "America's Dairyland," Wisconsin is known for cheese. Citizens of Wisconsin are referred to as
Wisconsinites, although a common nickname (sometimes used pejoratively) among non-residents is "Cheeseheads," due to the prevalence and quality of cheesemaking in the state.

The Bratwurst Pages

Why the Bratwurst Pages? Because bratwurst is the party food of Wisconsin. Because it's the world's best
-tasting sausage, the memory of which causes great angst among expatriate Wisconsinites. Because the
website owners have a passion for bratwurst, and want you to cook them right, for your maximum enjoyment
. They hope that you'll enjoy the bratwurst pages, and remember to eat bratwurst anywhere else, but don't eat them at your computer. It's hard to clean the juices from your keyboard.

People of German ancestry are the largest ancestry group most of the state, with about half of the state's
white population reporting at least partial German ancestry on the Census, and Wisconsin is widely regarded
as the most "German-American" state in the Union (although North Dakota, with 43.9% German ancestry, can
also make this claim). People of Scandinavian descent, especially Norwegians, are heavily concentrated in
some western parts of the state. Wisconsin also has the highest percentage of residents of Polish ancestry
of any state. Menominee county is the only county in the eastern United States with an American Indian majority.

Henlopen State Park, Delaware, to Pt. Reyes National Seashore, California. It reaches across America, linking
community to community in the first coast to coast, non-motorized trail. The ADT provides trail users the
opportunity to journey into the heart of all that is uniquely American — its culture, heritage, landscape and spirit.
