Wildcat Mountain

Wildcat Mountain is a summit in Wisconsin, about 2 miles from the town of Ontario. Several hiking trails sit within easy reach of it, making it a natural anchor for a day of walking in the area. Typical averages from the weather station at Cashton, about 11 miles away, describe a strongly seasonal climate. July is the warmest month, with highs around 81°F and lows near 63°F. June and August run only slightly cooler, with highs in the high 70s. May and September are milder, with highs near 68°F and 71°F. They still bring 10 to 13 days with precipitation.

About eight days with snow are typical in January, and snow is common from November through March. The station sits only about 100 feet from the summit's elevation, so its figures are a close guide.

For time on the water, the Kickapoo River is a canoeing destination roughly 8 miles from the summit.
