why Midwest adventure?

Did you know the American Midwest is home to the most visited Wilderness Area in the country? Despite being home to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, multiple National Parks (included the most revisited National Park!), thru-hiking trails, world-class sea kayaking venues, and more, the Midwest is often overlooked when it comes to outdoor recreation.

BUT that doesn’t mean locals aren’t making the most of the adventure around them! The Midwest outdoors community is alive and well; come and join the adventure!

from left to right: exploring the wilderness along the Canadian border, sea kayaking the rugged Pictured Rocks of Michigan, hiking frozen river canyons in Northern Minnesota.


Ready to collaborate? Through Instagram, TikTok, blog posts and newsletter, Maddy reaches over half a million Midwest Adventurers monthly. Her community is made mostly of women in their early 20s to 40s based in the Midwest and Great Lakes Region, including Chicago, the Twin Cities, Milwaukee, and Detroit.
