With longer days and warmer nights, summer is the perfect time to get outdoors to see some of the breathtaking sunsets across the skies. The Stevens Point Area is lucky to have beautiful shorelines to capture the views and frame the sky, like the Wisconsin River running right through its heart, along with various other locations to snap your best "sunset selfie".

Wisconsin River

Whether you are on a boat or on land, in a remote area or right downtown, you can be sure to catch the sunset reflecting off of the Wisconsin River. For a special spot, visit Bukolt or Pfiffner Park downtown! Although not on the river, Jordan County Park is another great Stevens Point location for sunset searching!

 

Green Circle Trail

With the 27 miles of hiking and biking trails running through the Stevens Point Area, the Green Circle is bound to have some sought-after spots for sunsets. If you aren't opposed to early mornings, the Schmeeckle Reserve's Lake Joanis is an amazing location for sunrises!

 

Unexpected Locations

Sometimes you don't have to be looking for sunsets to see one-- sometimes they will find you! Various unexpected locations like Central Waters Brewery, Bullhead's Bar and Grill, UWSP, the Stevens Point Country Club, downtown, and even the Stevens Point Dog Park have been known to hold some gorgeous sunsets. Just another reminder to look up into the sky on your next night out!
