The tourist season in Wisconsin is a long one, and recreational facilities have been developed in every section of the state. Fishing is good, and Wisconsin's lakes and streams are stocked each year to maintain the supply of sport fish. The muskellunge, or muskie, is the king of game fish. In the northwest are trout streams.
Ice fishing is a winter pastime throughout the state.
Miles of inland water and the two Great Lakes are open for all kinds of water sports. Motorboat, sailboat, and iceboat races are held on Lake Winnebago, one of the nation's largest inland lakes.

Winter festivals emphasizing these various sports are held throughout the state each year.
