MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin State Fair starts today, and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is excited to announce the agency will be on-site to engage with fairgoers July 31 - Aug. 10. This year is the 125th anniversary of the Wisconsin State Park System, and the DNR will be celebrating this milestone at the State Fair.

Fairgoers can learn about Wisconsin’s world-class state properties and outdoor recreation opportunities and purchase commemorative Wisconsin State Park System merchandise.

In addition to celebrating the 125th anniversary of the Wisconsin State Park System, fairgoers can meet with experts to learn about the DNR's online tools and get an up-close view of some of Wisconsin’s most popular fish.

"Wisconsin is known for its incredible natural resources, wildlife and endless opportunities for outdoor recreation,” said DNR Secretary Karen Hyun. "Fairgoers are invited to stop by during the fair to learn about Wisconsin's fabulous state park system and other outdoor offerings for all to enjoy."

The DNR display is in the north building at Exploratory Park, located on the south side of Main Street across from the Original Cream Puff Pavilion.

With over 6 million acres of public lands, Wisconsin has something for everyone. Learn how you can Find Your Adventure in Wisconsin.
