Two Year-Round County Highlights
Wisconsin Concrete Park in Phillips
Wisconsin Concrete Park preserves the imaginative concrete-and-glass sculptures created by Fred Smith. It is one of the county’s most distinctive cultural landmarks and an interesting stop for art lovers and families. Check seasonal visitor information, accessibility and weather conditions before visiting.
Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest and the Northwoods Landscape
Price County’s forests, lakes and backroads offer scenic experiences throughout the year. In November, however, outdoor conditions can change quickly and Wisconsin’s gun deer season begins November 21, 2026. Review land access rules, hunting-season safety guidance and weather before walking or exploring public lands. A daylight scenic drive and short, safe stops may be more practical than an extended hike.
