"I do think Fond du Lac is the nicest of those three towns." - said nobody, ever. Until you.

The Southwestern part of the state has the "driftless area" which was not covered by glaciers making it very hilly and unlike the flat prairie land of most of the state. It's quite a beautiful area IMO and with no major cities is basically unknown.

Wisconsinite here. By far your biggest omission: Culver's. If Wisconsin loves one thing, it's Culver's.

You forgot about Door County! It's very well known as the outdoors focused vacation spot for families here. It's located in the tail peninsula of the state, famous for the delicious wisconsin cherries grown there. They also make a ton of cherry wine there and have a number of beautiful small towns located along the banks of the Bay and Lake Michigan. They have a Drive In movie theater near a town called fish creek, a ton of small shops, and large protected state parks. A must see if you're visiting and want an authentic tour of Wisconsin.

A unique geography point is in Wisconsin - one of the Earth's four 45-90 points is just west of Wausau (45°N, 90°W)

Awesome to see my home state finally get a geographic profile! Overall, you did a very good overview. The only major physical geographical feature of the state you missed was the “driftless area” in the southwestern portion of the state, an area that glaciation did not occur. It is very rugged and unique compared to the rest of the state. Great explanation of the Kettle Moraine though! I live very nearby and have explored a lot of it, and it truly is a wonderful escape from urban Milwaukee. Thanks Geography King!

Wisconsin has the greenest greenery I’ve ever seen. I visited with some friends from there (Eau Claire) and told them the landscape looked like it was out of a calendar picture.

Madison is a beautiful city. It has the best farmers market I’ve ever been to

Milwaukee Bucks: Currently playing in the NBA finals Kyle: Stfu Brewers sausage race

Great video, surprised at no mention of staples like New Glarus or Culver’s. The driftless area is beautiful & rugged terrain especially for the Midwest. And how can you not mention devils lake.. it’s so fun and scenic. Not to mention the awesome beaches, nightlife and mansions on lake Geneva! Wisconsin and Wyoming are the hidden gems of the US. Oh I’m from Illinois by the way. (You can tell I always flock to Wisconsin for fun, because Illinois is so flat, boring, and corrupt)

A Wisconsin video while the Bucks are in the NBA finals. Well timed

Duuudde, you definitely missed the Driftless Area. It's one of the most interesting geographic areas in the state. And Door County!

Great video! One thing you missed is that we have a National Scenic Trail located entirely within the state. It’s the Ice Age Trail that travels along the glacier paths from the last glaciation period

The high poverty rate of La Crosse is likely due to the large number of college students (and multiple campuses) in a city of only 50,000 people. Due to the methodology the Census Bureau uses, college students who are unemployed or work part-time technically fall below the poverty line. And La Crosse doesn't have all the medical, STEM and office jobs that Madison has, to offset the temporarily low earnings of all the college students. Also, La Crosse has a large suburb just to the north called Onalaska, which adds nearly 20,000 more people to the total urbanized area.

I lived in Wisconsin for thirty-five years. I'm surprised you didn't mention the Ice Age Trail.

Just travelled a few weeks ago through Wisconsin on I94 and was amazed at the absolutely beautiful scenery. Huge green trees and farmlands (I believe soybean fields) were breathtaking! Being from Western Washington, I am used to evergreen trees everywhere, but was overwhelmed by the beautiful green scenery along both sides of the freeway. I assume that it doesn't look like that year round but what green and gorgeous drive that is in mid to late July!

Kyle, I would be thrilled if one day you did a profile of a Canadian province. (I live in Alberta.) I love your videos.

I’ve visited Wisconsin a few times and enjoyed myself every time. Love Madison, love the state, and love the people. And hopefully I’ll be back again one day.

Hey Kyle, really enjoyed this video on Wisconsin thanks! Some things I wish you would have mentioned were: Frank Lloyd Wright and his relationship with the state his buildings and influence can be seen all over the state and really adds to the natural beauty. When you are talking about major beer companies in Wisconsin I thought it was interesting that you didn't mention Papst. The Pabst Theater in Milwaukee was the 1st theater with electorate city and AC. The Pabst Mansion is worth seeing, in my opinion its filled with better art than the MKE art museum which still fasenates with architecture. New Glarus and it's only in Wisconsin rule is also pretty cool. Also worth mentioning is that the the Joan Of Arc church was transplanted from France to the Marquette University campus. Which also contains the largest public collection of Tolkien works. Kenosha is home to the dinosaur museum which has the largest collection of therapods in the world. When you said you liked our city nicknames you missed that the Dells is the waterpark Capitol of the world. MKE also has the nickname cream city because of the color of the locally made bricks and the origins of the name Milwaukee it self are pretty cool. The Packers have olny 4 super bowls, but before the 60s the league played for a traveling championship trophy which the Packers won more than any other team. So much so that the original trophy is on display in the Packers hall of fame. You mentioned the rivalry with the Vikings, but not the Bears which is the longest running rivalry in the NFL. Between the Bears and Packers there are 24 championships which is almost 1/4 the leagues existence. Some cool geological spots you missed were Devils Lake which has different rocks than all the surrounding area, and cave of the mounds. Again I really appreciate your video, thanks for giving Wisco a chance

Took a week-long vacation to Wisconsin last year, liked it even more than I expected. Classic American farm country and some of the best burgers anywhere.

Wish you would've mentioned the driftless area, but other than that, excellent video. Glad to be a resident of this state for sure.

As a Wisconsinite who’s a huge fan of the channel - this made my day to see this posted! And i even learned some things about my home state. Well done and thanks for all the research and effort with these, Kyle!

I'm a kayak guide in the Apostle Islands and the sea caves and it probably the most underrated part of Wisconsin. I highly recommend checking it out

I just drove through Wisconsin and stopped in Madison to eat. It was awesome. Western Wisconsin along I-90 is gorgeous. I've been to Northern Wisconsin near Superior as well and I can recommend that part as well.

Nice job! I lived within an hour of Milwaukee from 1986-2012. After living in overcrowded Dallas and Austin for the last 10 years, I'm getting a bit nostalgic for the state and the Midwest.

LaCrosse is a big college town, so maybe that's why the poverty rate is relatively higher.

Good review, you missed the Manitowoc Ferry, The Groto at Dickeyville, Crystal Cave in Spring Valley, Spring Green, home to architect Frank Lloyd Wright's famous Taliesin, and the Great River Road. Great job. I enjoyed this

Thanks for showing my homestate some love! Big fan of the channel and hello from Madison!

For one week in late July every year, the airspace around Oshkosh and Fond du Lac becomes the busiest airspace in the world as EAA AirVenture takes place. Tens of thousands flying enthusiasts with homebuilt aircraft, also numbering in five digits, gather to live, breathe and sleep airplanes.

Really enjoyed this as a Wisconsinite. I am proud of my state and feel strongly connected to it. Many generations of my family have lived all around Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula. Truthfully, winters in the city suck. It’s nice to get out of the city, ski and enjoy the woods or ice fishing. But if you’re working in the city, miles of slushy roads with people seeking refuge inside for four months a year can be depressing. The rest of the year more than makes up for it though. The sight of Lake Michigan through emerald forests is unforgettable and never fails to soothe my soul after a cold winter. It makes me feel lucky to call this place home.

This series but with Canadian province’s and territories would be amazing. I feel like a lot of people don’t realize just how varied /interesting Canadian geography is!

Kyle, the badger reference at the start was hilarious. To answer your question months after the fact, Outagamie = out-uh-GAME-ee. Oshkosh has been the home of the EAA Fly-in for decades. Good guess, but Fond du Lac = fahn due LACK, rather than LOCK. Sheboygan has a twin city of sorts in Michigan via its pronunciation, but that one's spelled Cheboygan. Derecho is a Spanish word meaning 'straight', and unlike many words and cities in the US, this one didn't get Anglicized--deh-RAY-choh. You got me on the pasties, in that I know the UP of Michigan has them in abundance, I didn't realize they'd crossed the "cheddar curtain" into WI. My family attended the Lumberjack Bowl when I was a kid, and was held in Spooner when I attended. At the time, Wide World of Sports was big, and it was featured a few months later, and I saw myself in the crowd on national TV. Another pretty place that wasn't brought up is Door County, which is the majority of the peninsula going NE from Green Bay.

How can an overview of Wisconsin geography omit mention of "the Driftless"? Some of the most beautiful scenery you'll find anywhere . . but particularly spectacular for the Midwest. I took a road trip from Chicago on my Harley this past weekend to ride through the Driftless region. Absolutely awesome!

Fantastic video...have lived here for decades and learned a few things. Next time , please include Door County and the driftless area....my two favorite places in the state.

I grew up in the Driftless Region of Wisconsin. Locally, we would also call it the "Ocooch Mountains" (I bet there's an interesting history behind that, not sure). The foggy summer morning and multi-colored autumn views in those rolling hills are second to none! Devil's Lake, Perrot State Park, Ferry Bluff, and Parfrey's Glen look like something you would find in Appalachia or the Great Smoky Mountains. Definitely one of Wisconsin's best kept secrets! ;)

There is so much more about Wisconsin you missed (though I think you did a good job for someone that doesn't live here) you could do a part two for our state. Definitely visit Door County (you were so close when you were in Green Bay) and the driftless area of the state (which, if you're traveling to Iowa from Wisconsin you'd drive right through some of it), and where the driftless area meets the glacial area Devils Lake State Park has some of the best hiking trails and views in the state, a must see, in my opinion! Also, for agriculture Wisconsin leads the nation in Ginseng, cranberries, sweet corn, and soybeans. We are also third in the nation in potatoes. So our state is much more than dairy, which most people think of.

Many Native American pronounced cities in our wonderful state of Wisconsin! I love Wisconsin, especially for all of the lakes it has. I could fish a different lake every week and there's no chance I'd get to all of them! One unique thing about Green Bay not mentioned, of course is they actually sell tshirts that have a saying on them "Green Bay, a drinking town with a football problem!" We love our Packers! When I lived in Green Bay on any Sunday the Packers were playing it'd be hard to find a single car on the roads - all were home watching the game!

Love my home state of Wisconsin! Love this video!!!❤️

Many great memories from going on 2 week-long canoe trips in Northern Wisconsin with the Boy Scouts out of Region 7 Canoe Base in the Rhinelander-Minocqua area. So many beautiful lakes and great fishing.

A couple things you didn't touch on. While Lake Winnebago is the largest lake in area, the deepest lake is Green Lake, about 25 miles southwest of Oshkosh, at 226 feet deep. Also, Lake Geneva is a huge tourist area that a lot of people from Milwaukee and Chicago flock to for a weekend getaway. Door County, the peninsula arm on the east, is also a huge tourist destination area and is where most of the state's wineries are. Baraboo, just south of Wisconsin Dells, is where Ringling Brothers Circus was founded in 1884. Green Bay is also the oldest city in Wisconsin with the first settlers coming in 1765. Oshkosh is home to the EAA, the world's largest air show.

Thank you Geography King for takin me to some of these states I’ve never been too on your KZfaq video. It was interested. I wish I can go to some of states like Michigan and Minnesota to visit but I doubt it. Keep up the good work. I enjoy your videos 🤟🤟👍👍

Great fishing here in Wisconsin. The biggest negative here are the one million Illinois jackwagons that come up every weekend.

Amazing videos man. Thank you for your work

Loved the attempted pronunciations, Fond du Lock? All joking aside, love seeing a video for my home state! Only geographic feature missed would be the driftless area

I’m glad you made this video. I became interested in learning more about Milwaukee and Wisconsin after I was able to pull some tv stations out of Milwaukee and Madison about a month ago during a atmospheric propagation event. And I’m in northwest Indiana so just had to go over Lake Michigan.

Thanks for doing this on my home state, it was really good! As someone who has lived in Appleton and has family there, Outagamie County is pronounced out-a-game-E. Also, the Lac in Fond du Lac is pronounced "lack". I've lived all across the state growing up (Milwaukee, West Bend, Appleton and finally Neillsville and working in Tomah -- I made an arc) before attending the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, where my minor was actually Geography. I love EC, it's a beautiful city and really fun to be in, there's so much to do, and I wish I could move back there. I do wish you would have talked about the Driftless Area. I think you may have lumped it in as just being the Dells, but the Dells is only one location within the Driftless Area, La Crosse is in it as well.

I love Wisconsin Milwaukee one of my favorite cities and the state is definitely top 3 states for me.

Glad to see a video from you about my state! :)

I am a life long Wisconsin resident and I watched this just to see how you would do with the names of our towns and counties. I give you a 7 out of 10 which includes a bonus point for mentioning my city and employer. As we say here, ya can’t trust anyone who can’t say Oconomowoc correctly

I love this channel. Thanks for helping us explore! EDIT: And UHF is one of my favorite movies. Saw it in the theater. My sister and I were the only people in there. I was running up and down the aisles, and being completely juvenile. Great memories.

Always enjoy your videos, thank you.

Yay, was hoping you'd do us! Great UHF clip in the beginning btw, one of my favorite movies :D

Yes!! My home state! Love the recap you did on this!!

Oh man, the UHF clip at the beginning has me won over. Your channel is great!!

I grew up on Lake Pepin in the small town of Bay City. I now live in Bayport, MN on the Saint Croix River right across from WI 15 miles east of St. Paul, MN. I have been almost everywhere in the US and think the area's I have lived in are some of the most beautiful anywhere . Thanks, I enjoyed this video.

I enjoy your videos, you really break down the facts. You have done your research and put quality information and content together. Thanks! I am from WI, I love my state!

Your videos are great! I’ve lived in this state ever since I was born 21 years ago, and I learned a few things from this vid. Thanks!

Love this series keep up your great work!⭐️🎉🇺🇸😊

Lived in Wisconsin as a kid and it's one of the most beautiful places you'll see. Now the 40 below actual temps with windchills from 60 to 80 below they can keep. Also can get in the upper 30s and 40s at night in the middle of the summer. Loved the snow though. Seems like there's a lake every five miles too. Just a beautiful place.

Been looking forward to this video!

No mention of the Milwaukee Bucks? Come on Kyle! They're in the Finals right now!

Thanks for the great video GK! 🧀🐄🪵❄️🍺😁

very interesting and entertaining. I did not realize how many "mid size" cities there are in WI. I live across the lake in Michigan. Its remarkable (to me) how many people in my state have never travelled to WI (Michiganders tend to be N./S. oriented, Florida/or "Up North"), I have been thru WI from Superior to Kenosha, loved it. Keep up the good work Kyle.

You pretty much nailed it. I love watching your vids so it was great to see my state.

At least you pronounced Eau Claire like people around here. You got one.

Would love to see one of these on Wyoming, it's a very interesting state despite the low population. ps Love the videos, you are one of my favorite channels on KZfaq!

Fun fact: Jesse Marsch, coach of RB Leipzig in German Bundesliga, the top tier of German football (soccer), is from Racine, WI.

Really enjoyed this video, appreciate you sharing, have a wonderful day 🌞😊

Wisconsin is a cool state...one of the best in the nation. I was born in Chicago, but Wisconsin remains my favorite mid-west state. I will never forget being a city kid, but my dad (from work pal) was invited to his Wisconsin farm...1st time I got to chase chickens, feed horses sugar, play with big cows, try to milk one haha! This state has the BEST cheese in the nation and GOOD beer...how could you go wrong here? I will never forget our 1st family vacation, at age 10, to Baraboo and the Wisconsin Dells - good memory stuff! Wow I am so happy I got to know Wisconsin.

I think you missed a key area of the state. The driftless area. The topography is unlike the rest of the state. But most people overlook it. It's a gem.

I live in WI. Great video! I really love the breakdown of the cities. The Hmong are a super special part of this state. I almost lost my home in the flood of 2008, and again in a derecho in 2018. Normally a safe state, considering all natural disasters.

U guys are just awesome. Really thanks for that

I lived in Wisconsin for several years. This video brings back lots of fun memories. The food was great, if indulgent. Everybody was always drinking and we bonded over the shared experience of fierce winters.

Working and living in Door County I love hearing about other parts of the state plus this is really informative. Great video

Was going to go to Wisconsin last year, but... love from Iowa

Nice job. I loved the overview as I am moving back to my home state very soon.

Love your videos!

King you gotta keep making these state profile videos the fans need them

As an Illinoisan whose hometown is a border county, Wisconsin is our vacation destination. I have good memories of visiting the Dells, Devil’s Lake in Baraboo, and Taliesin, Frank Lloyd Wright’s second home and studio. I’m still in Illinois and I dream to move to La Crosse or somewhere in the Driftless Area. That’s something you forgot to mention about topography. Check it out when you have a chance. It covers four states. Sadly it only covers Jo Daviess County in Illinois. Right where Galena is.

Love your Liberace album... another famous Wisconsinite!

I lived in Evansville back in 2004 as the exchange student. Being a teenage boy from Bangkok, capital of Thailand with around 10 million people, gotta say it was quite a culture shock during the first month living in the town of 4,000. Ended up love almost every single thing there!

Great info and a beautiful state!

This is comprehensive! It covers pretty much all the geographic aspects, nicely done. And yes, Wisconsin place names tend to be unpronouncible for those who did not grow up there. Don't ask me how I know.... OH, I almost forgot to mention- I think WI is also the greatest producer of Sauerkraut in the USA.

The driftless area of Wisconsin is really cool to see if you are visiting. Lot's of state parks and beautiful countryside to see out there.

Despite a few mispronunciations, that was a great geographic overview of my adopted home state, @GeographyKing! The only unique food you missed was frozen custard, a cold dessert similar to ice cream that’s made with eggs in addition to cream and sugar, is kept at a warmer temperature compared to ice cream, and typically has a denser consistency.

The hiking looks really pretty. I would have never guessed til I watched this video!

Wisconsin has TONS Trails all over the state. A lot of them almost connect to each other. Fond Du Lac. "LACK" I think that's the first time I heard someone say it like you. AND Hmong think "MONK with a G". The reason the States Weather is because of the Artic Winds. But you described the state pretty well. I can't believe you talked about the Logging games and the Sausages run. Wisconsin has half the list for Drunkest cities.

Lived in MKE for 6 years during grad school. Really nice place to live, and a really nice video hitting most of the highlights!

Thank you! You covered a lot, and as a Wisconsinite, even I learned something! I agree with others that coverage of the Driftless Area and Door County was missing. And perhaps a little bit of the history of the state (Native Americans, immigrants, architecture, politics, etc.) would’ve been beneficial, too. Aaaaaand, you can tell that we Wisconsinites are generally a polite bunch by all of our supportive comments! ❤

Awesome vid! I call Wisconsin my home!

Honestly you can't mention Wisconsin without including Culvers fast food restaurants, it's definitely a state favorite for many reasons.

Happy to see the wisco dico covered. Cant believe you didnt mention the Bucks. Especially since they are in the final tonight.

La Crosse also has a really cool outdoor area called Granddad's Bluff just east of town that overlooks the city and valley.

Can’t stop laughing about the description of the sausage race 😂 love this channel!!

Thanks for the shout out of my hometown of Janesville!

Couple of ideas, once again: -Ranking Each State Capital City -Ranking Each State’s Latgest Metropolitan Area -Ranking Each State’s Governor’s Mansion -Ranking Each Canadian Province/Territory’s License Plates -Ranking Each State’s Tallest Building By Design, Not Height

My sister in law moved from Seattle to Milwaukee back in 2005 and she loves it. I can't believe that she acquired the Wisconsin accent. As a Seattlite for over 15 years, I still can't get rid of my NY accent.

La Crosse is also known for being a college town with UW-L, Viterbo and western tech. And it's also got a lot of outdoor recreation opportunities, and its beautiful scenery, located in the driftless region, largest city in it in wisc, i believe. For some reason not many large cities in the west of the state. La Crosse is also known for its large Oktoberfest. It's headquarters of Kwik Trip which IMO is the best convenience store. Not far away in Monroe county where my sister lives is all the cranberry bogs. Interesting part as well.

Lake Geneva is another town worth visiting for sure! Love that place

super informative video love it!
