Wisconsin Outdoor Groups is the online home of the Madison Area Outdoor Group and Central Wisconsin Outdoor Group, two communities that bring together people who enjoy spending time outdoors. Anyone interested in excursions near or far and committed to leaving no trace is welcome. Members can host activities based on their own interests, creating opportunities to explore and connect with fellow outdoor enthusiasts. Events include camping, hiking, road and mountain biking, canoeing, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, backpacking, skiing, fishing, bonfires, and cookouts. The groups also occasionally organize indoor gatherings focused on outdoor topics or meeting other members. They avoid political positions and do not host charity runs, while regularly donating to local parks, conservation groups, and outdoor improvement projects.

A one-time $5 membership fee provides access to the event calendar, detailed event information, RSVP options, and payment for camping spots at seasonal group camping events. The groups also connect with members through Meetup and Facebook.
