One of the most spectacular ways to take in Wisconsin’s fall color show can be found in Waupaca County, where a special excursion boat will take you on a trip like no other. Clear Water Harbor offers fall color cruises that are served up with some lake scenery that’s simply spectacular. It’s the perfect destination for a Wisconsin fall day – here’s why you should buy a ticket.
Waupaca County is one of the state’s hidden gems – a lot of tourists pass near the county on their way to more well-known destinations in northern Wisconsin. They should consider stopping – this place has all the beauty and fun of the Northwoods and it’s a doable drive from cities like Milwaukee and Chicago.

Fall cruises are held on a double-decker paddleboat called the Chief Waupaca. It’s a modern, specially built vessel that offers a throwback cruising experience. Clear Water Harbor also offers longer cruises on its “Lady of the Lakes” motor yacht.

The cruises take passengers through the Chain of Lakes so it’s possible to see eight different lakes and miles of wooded shoreline on a single cruise. Bring your camera!

The lake cruises run for about 90 minutes and take place on Saturdays and Sundays until the leaves fall in mid-October. If you can’t make it here in the fall, other scenic cruises take place in the summer months. Make sure to get a ticket!
