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 1951.5 ft. It is less than 1 mi south of Highway 86, about midway between Ogema and Spirit and about 23 mi west of Tomahawk.

Description

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 mi away by line of sight. The 10 mile Timms Hill Trail connects to the Ice Age Trail, a National Scenic Trail stretching 1200 mi across glacial terrain in Wisconsin.[[File:Timms Hill, Wisconsin High Point.jpg|thumb|The tower at the top of Timms Hill.]]
