The wildest areas that I have been to in those states have been in the metro twin cities
Where else can you find bear cougar and gangbangers within spitting distance?!

Superior in north MN alone is over 3.5 million acres.
When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there's no end to what you can't do.

Superior in north MN alone is over 3.5 million acres. Did alot of bear hunting up in that area 30years ago. Didn't have to go to far out of town to get lost. It has changed quite a bit since then but still nice.

Yes, I'll freely admit I'm a wild area snob. I made it a point to find the wildest places on this earth. Absolutely no evidence of modern mankind. In 60 years, I've actually found two such areas, and neither was in a designated wilderness. I believe with the designation, it is ruined because of all the wilderness junkies that want to spend their two weeks vacation in a "wilderness". One of the areas was the extreme west end of the Brooks Range in northern Alaska. The other in Far Eastern Russia, just south of Siberia.

The problem with northern Minnesota is that it's still Minnesota. Northern WI, is ok if you like people from Minneapolis, Chicago and Milwaukee. The UP is pretty cool. I thought about moving there, but decided it's a better place to visit than live.

gulo- hit the nail on the head, just on the news today over 4 Millon vehicles came across the bridge, this last year Do they charge them to use that bridge? If they do how much? I think wild is not really the word you are looking for. Remote comes to mind for me. 40-50 miles between tar roads is not real remote.

Not sure why you're asking, but the North woods in Maine is also about 3.5 million acres of uninhabited wilderness. The three states are next to each other. Several years ago I drove through the upper parts of all three and saw miles of what appeared to be pure wilderness.
