Any recommendations for long weekend around WI/MN
Hello,
I've been looking around for things to do for long weekend but alas nothing has been lucrative enough for me and a few friends to make up our minds.
I live halfway between Madison and Minneapolis and am willing to drive 8-10 hrs around here. Been to Rushmore, Chicago, Upper Michigcan, Daluth, 6 flags would be overcrowded.
Are there any other interesting places or things to do around here. I am not big into camping but enjoy outdoors (like some state parks) but having already visited Badlands, I sort of ruled out North Dakota as well.
If you have some recommendations, I am all ears =)
Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback dfr4848.
I've been to Gooseberry falls twice now but not beyond that. Northshore seems to be on the same lines perhaps?
I am also looking at some of the UP state parks (Porcupine state park?) which seems like a nice getaway for a couple of days.
Mackinac island is a personal favorite, it was fun hiking and biking out there. I wonder if there are any other similar options.

Door County would be nice as would Porcupine Mountains State Park. The state park is much more "wildeness-ey" than Door County. Beautiful hiking trails there; it's huge for a stae park. Door County has some of everything. I really don't know how someone couldn't have a good time there.
