The scenic landscape and untouched nature will delight the eye on “Nature as It Should Be” – Kickapoo Valley. On this episode of Discover Wisconsin we’ll travel the length of the Kickapoo Valley and drop in on a few of the charming towns’ festivals along the way. You’ll learn how the Kickapoo Valley became known as The Driftless Area and how its landscape was originally used to grow tobacco and how the many Amish families who call the Kickapoo Valley home entertain a simpler life. The Valley is also ideal for silent sports. The hidden valleys form a quiet solitude for the Kickapoo River to travel, and an ideal place to trout fish in the bubbling streams. As the Kickapoo River snakes along the Valley it creates a natural setting for canoeing and kayaking. The avid bird watcher will be enchanted with the many species that frequent the landscape. The picturesque peaks and valleys present challenging terrain for the most devoted bikers, hikers, snowshoers and cross country skiers. And for those who are new to the faster paced silent sports, there are flatter trails along the river and through the woods for everyone to enjoy. So let us delight you with the serenity of nature and a simpler life on “Nature as It Should Be.”
