Picture this: you walk outside, and you look around you. The sky is grey, the ground is mushy, and everything is just a little bit wet. We’ve arrived at that time of the year; it’s Mud Season! Mud season in Wisconsin is the transitional period between winter and spring when snowmelt, rain, and freeze-thaw cycles create muddy conditions and usually occurs between March and May 

Springtime in Wisconsin is finicky. Some weeks are full of snow, while others are sunny and warm. Here’s a list of great activities you can do these next few months while we gear up for summer.
