The best news from Wisconsin on travel and tourism

AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Tick Bite Surge: ER visits for tick bites are at their highest for this time of year since 2017, with warmer weather pushing more people toward Lyme disease treatment—Wisconsin travelers heading outdoors should check for ticks and stick to safer trail habits. Wildfire Funding Friction: New burn bans and shifting federal rules are complicating controlled burns, leaving some conservation groups short on the money and permissions they need to reduce future fire risk. Poison Ivy Season: Poison ivy is ramping up across Wisconsin; experts say “leaves of three” and staying on marked paths are your best bets, since the plant’s oil can spread on clothes, gear, and even pets. Road & Travel Notes: The Mitchell Interchange weekend closure is delayed to May 29–31 due to forecasted weather. Local Fun: Oshkosh hosted the Wisconsin State Arm Wrestling Championship, and the SS Badger kicked off its 2026 Lake Michigan season from Ludington.
