Timms Hill or Timm's Hill is the highest natural point in the U.S. state of Wisconsin and is located in north-central Wisconsin in Timms Hill County Park in the Town of Hill in Price County. After being surveyed by Quentin Stevens of Ogema Telephone Co in 1962, Timms Hill was discovered to have an elevation of 1951.50NaN0. It is less than 1miles south of Highway 86, about midway between Ogema and Spirit and about 23miles west of Tomahawk.[3]
Timms Hill is located in Timms Hill County Park. A public lookout tower is atop the hill. Visible to the southeast is Rib Mountain (elev. 1,924 ft, 586 m), 44 miles away by line of sight.[4] The 10mile Timms Hill Trail connects to the Ice Age Trail,[5] a National Scenic Trail stretching 1200miles across glacial terrain in Wisconsin.
