No, there's not. One of my jobs is documenting wild, public land across the lower 48. SE Wisconsin has none of it.

You want to talk about no scenery and hardly anywhere to enjoy the outdoors, eastern South Dakota where I live. There are lakes.. but no trees and much cooler temps.
South Dakota is in an entirely different league in terms of outdoors. True, eastern SD is a bummer (it's much more like MN and IL), but western SD is a treasure, eclipsing anything in Illinois or Wisconsin.

Everything is relative. If I can't live along an ocean, living along a great lake is a nice alternative.
I wouldn't call it an alternative. The Great Lakes are sterile wastelands compared to the oceans. And you don't get the nice moderation effects of the west coast. If you were to go out to lake Michigan now, it would just feel dead and lifeless. Oh, and you'd freeze to death.

From Chicao, driving the speed limit, it's about six hours to any national forest. And the national forest you do find has already been destroyed by the logging industry, and most of the megafauna missing.

Then move to Portland. In the midwest, you get little sunshine, -20, +100 heat warning days, tornadoes, and clouds upon clouds of toxic pesticide in the spring and summer.

Oh yay, you're back with your mindless Wisconsin bashing.

You obviously have never been to the northwoods of Minnesota.

Who cares about Chicago? We're talking about Wisconsin. And you're wrong. Do you even live here? The ignorance of your posts is astounding.
