How far is Wisconsin from Michigan?

I want to take my girlfriend to visit where I grew up in Wisconsin. I’ve never made the drive, so how far is it to Wisconsin from Michigan?

Visiting childhood homes is such a great way to get to know someone better—just be sure to not get too caught up in the nostalgia! While it may seem like a short drive, considering
Michigan
and
Wisconsin
are neighbors, the Great Lakes add a significant amount of travel time.
To circumvent Lake Michigan, you’ll need to head south through Chicago before heading up into Wisconsin. Much of the drive will have you on I-94 W, and you’ll be traveling about 450 miles. In total, you’re looking at a general drive time of 7 hours. However, you’ll want to take a few things into account:
  • Chicago traffic
  • Weather from the Great Lakes
  • Construction/accidents
A single problem on a multi-hour drive can add significant time to the trip. Always be sure to check the current road conditions before setting out. While you’re doing that, also consider adding a few more coverages to your car insurance with
