Types of Frogs in Wisconsin (Identification Guide)

Wisconsin features several frog types like the northern leopard frog, American bullfrog, and wood frog. You spot them by their markings, size, and calls in local ponds and woods. This guide helps with identification and suggests art prints to bring those sights inside your home.

What frog species call Wisconsin home?

The state supports about a dozen frogs. Northern leopard frogs show dark spots on green skin and live near lakes. American bullfrogs grow large with deep voices in deeper water. Wood frogs turn brown with a mask like stripe and breed early in spring. Gray treefrogs blend with bark and climb trees. Spring peepers add high peeps from small pools.

Which frogs are easiest to identify by sound?

Listen for the American bullfrog deep rumble at night. Northern leopard frogs give snore like calls. Spring peepers fill woods with repeated peeps. Wood frogs sound like ducks quacking. These calls peak in April through June near water edges.
