I am going on a 4-day family vacation to a lodge in Wisconsin. What are some places to go and things to do there that are MFP-friendly (as opposed to stuffing our faces with delicious cheese and wine)? I would like to stay active and make some great memories. Any recommendations?

    I recommend you stay at home if you can not control your eating.

    Enjoy the delicious wine and cheese? Have fun with the family for 4 days?

    Wisconsin is play hard, eat, play hard, eat.
    see the gentleman above me jumping over fire.

    we also have many lakes, hiking trails, bike rentals, etc
    but we have great creameries and wineries and breweries

    when you take responsibility about your own eating and activity habits, it doesn't matter where you go

    QFT. Granted, on vacations I'm much more lax about my eating habits, but I also don't want to spend the entire time worrying about my calories. When I actually took my Fitbit on the cruise with me a couple months ago, I found out that while I ate more, I was also a LOT more active, so my net was very close to what it should be. And that was with me eating what I wanted. If you're concerned about eating too much, just watch your portions and make sure you do active things. It will likely even out in the end, so just have fun!

    I'm assuming this lodge is on a lake? Go swimming, kayaking, canoeing, waterskiing, wakeboarding, etc
    Same as you'd do at the lakes in MN

    Why are you drinking wine in Wisconsin instead of beer?

    And where, in particular, are you going? Northern Wisconsin by Hayward or Minocqua perhaps?

    They make steamed vegetables in Wisconsin, they also have salads, fish, and other wonderful fresh food to enjoy. There are plenty of activities to partake in as well. Don't deny yourself a sample of cheese or wine or beer. Moderate those foods with exercise even a walk after dinner or lunch will help maintain the level of calorie intake

    I used to work a Wisconsin vineyard for a season. Replanted three hundred vines that hot summer. Ugh.

    We'll have to agree to disagree on the wine front. Haven't had any Wisco wines I like all that much. Agree 100% on cheese.
