Timms Hill

Timms Hill is the highest natural point in the U.S. state of Wisconsin, with an elevation of 1,951.5 feet (594.8 meters). The hill sits within Timms Hill County Park and is a marked high-point destination for hikers and state highpointers.

The summit area features a wooden observation tower that provides panoramic views over forested hills and lakes of northern Wisconsin; the tower is the main attraction for visitors. Park trails and picnic areas around the hill support short hikes, wildlife viewing and day-use recreation.

The hill and surrounding parkland were developed as a public recreation area administered by local authorities; the designation of Timms Hill as Wisconsin’s high point predates the park’s modern amenities. The site has been maintained for public access and outdoor recreation through county and local efforts.
