Up North Action Oct/Nov 2023

It’s Dig-Out-the-Flannel-Shirts Time

We were sitting around the campfire reminiscing about the trips we made throughout the Northwoods this past summer. A brother and his wife came visiting for a few days, so we ended up going to Ontonagon on a day trip. The Ontonagon County Historical Society’s Museum is quite impressive. We spent an hour looking at the artifacts and displays, all well-organized and titled.

Autumn is definitely here. It’s time for flannel shirts and long pants. And for more trips! Fall festivals, visits to apple orchards and pumpkin patches, a Christmas parade or two, ATVing, and the wonders of fall colors are among the special times shared by couples and families venturing north.

Speaking of pumpkin patches, we did a photo shoot over in Polk County last year and on the return trip home, came across a pumpkin patch to die for. We found pumpkins of

all sizes and multi-colored gourds galore at this pumpkin patch run by kids! We moved the camera cases, folded down the back seats and loaded several pumpkins. We tipped the farm kids some extra bucks (they helped me lift a couple of the big ones).

The biggest pumpkin we ever bought was up in UP’s Iron River some years ago. (We do get around.) Luckily, we had a pickup truck then, so it was easy to scoot the monster from the farm wagon into the truck bed. Getting it from the truck bed to the ground was a different story once home. Luckily it stayed intact!

Check out the calendar of events, stories about those events and attractions in this issue of Up North Action magazine for trip ideas to the land they call Up North.

Annual Fall Color Extravaganza is Here!

FLORENCE – The beautiful waterfalls in Florence County become even more picturesque during the height of Colorama in the Northwoods. Leaves that have turned crimson, yellow and orange give the perfect backdrop to your photographs!

All of the waterfalls are accessible – some easier than others –and maps pinpointing their locations can be found at the Wild Rivers Interpretive Center in Florence. The Interpretive Center has lots of interesting information and displays inside.

Two of the waterfalls you may want to visit are located near each other in east central Florence County.

Breakwater Falls – Three tiers of cascading falls with rapids create this spectacular falls just below the Pine River Flowage Dam. Caution signs hang over the river here.

Unique rock formations show the power of the river and the beauty of nature. Other than LaSalle Falls, Breakwater Falls is the most impressive falls in Florence County. However, this waterfalls is not recommended for children or people with difficul-

ty walking as climbing up and down rocks offer the best views.

LaSalle Falls – If you only visit one waterfall, make this the one! But come prepared for a walk of about one mile, one way, on a rustic trail. The falls is accessed from County C by turning north on LaSalle Falls Road. This road is 10.2 miles east of Highway 101 or 1.9 miles west of County U. LaSalle Falls Road leads northwest 2.4 miles to a small parking lot on the north side of the road.

From the parking lot a trail leads northward for one mile to the falls. About 0.4 miles into the trail a small creek runs eastward. During periods of high water, crossing it may be difficult. The trail ends at the 35-foot rock outcrop next to the falls, but the best view on foot is to climb down the steep and challenging hill to the base of the falls.

Downstream of the falls is a gorge filled with rapids, which runs for 1/2 mile. The best view of the area is in a canoe or kayak from the end of the gorge.

LaSalle Falls

Hunter Walking Trails Serve Variety of Interests

COUNTYWIDE – More than 25 miles of hunter walking trails are maintained in Florence County, especially attractive for grouse and deer hunters in the fall and winter. The county’s Forestry and Parks Department mows the trails and wildlife openings annually and seeds them periodically with clover.

The trails are open to anyone throughout the seasons. From September through December, trail users are encouraged to wear blaze orange (a requirement for deer hunters). The Wild Rivers Interpretive Center in Florence has a brochure on the trails. Call 888-889-0049 if you need information.

Lake Emily Trail is located 1/4 mile east of Highway 101 on County Highway D. It can also be accessed from Elm Road off Highway 101. The 3-mile long trail has 12 wildlife openings.

Bush Lake Trail is located east of Fire Tower Road in Homestead. Fire Tower Road is located approximately 5 miles east of Highway 101 on Highway C. Four access points on the east side of Fire Tower Road and two access points on the north side of Spur Lake Road. 12 wildlife openings and 8 total miles of trail.

LaMontage Creek Ruffed Grouse Area is located across from Bush Lake Trail on Fire Tower Road. It includes approximately 5 miles of trails. Designated a ruffed grouse area, it is very scenic.

Halls Creek Trail can be accessed across from LaSalle Falls Road, Halls Lake Road, and Fire Lane Road – all located north of Highway C. This 8-mile road has 5 wildlife openings.

Winchester Trail is located at the east end of Roach’s Fire Lane, which intersects Highway N about 7 miles south of Florence. Then east 3 miles. Trail starts north of the DNR Barrens Property and has just over 2 miles of road. Several miles of Wisconsin Electric property roads are accessible from this trail.

LaSalle Falls Trail is also very scenic. Located approximately 9 miles south of the Florence Natural Resource Center. It can be reached from the junction of Highways C and U by going west on Highway C for two miles. Then north on LaSalle Falls Road for 2 ½ miles. Walk is about 1 mile through a variety of woodland vegetation and a diverse topography. Walk about ¼ mile upstream to view the most scenic waterfall in the county.

Oktoberfests Bring Out the Best in Food & Music

It’s the season for all things spooky and also the time of year to visit fall festivities. Whether they are big or small, the festivals will bring a smile to your face. With that in mind, here’s a couple of the latter to enjoy with friends and family:

SHAWANO – Shawano’s Oktoberfest on Saturday, Oct. 7 offers a lot of fun and food. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is situated on the 100 and 200 blocks of Main Street, downtown Shawano.

The food list runs wild. For example, Stubborn Brothers Brewery will pour pumpkin ale and salted caramel beer, along with other brews. A local church group will be serving walking tacos; other vendors will have open-faced caramel apple bars, homemade fried cheese curds and root beer floats.

More than 45 craft vendors will be on site. At least three groups will have children’s activities. Dave Bartels will be showcasing his mastery of chainsaw carving. Free pumpkins, farmer’s market, scarecrow contest and more await visitors. Two polka bands will be playing nearly non-stop from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

CROOKED LAKE – The 13th annual Oktoberfest in Crooked Lake on Saturday, Oct. 14 will greet festgoers with activities for nearly all ages, food and drink while local favorite, Whitey, plays music in the beer garden. The event gets underway at 11 a.m., at the Crooked Lake Community Center on Hwy. W.

Scheduled is an outdoor craft market, free pumpkin decorating for the kids, free hayrides and minnow races. A pig roast dinner (fee) will be served from 1-5 p.m. There will be raffle drawings throughout the day.

Take a Closer Look at Florence County’s Natural Wonderland

Florence County’s amazing wild scenery is best viewed up close, and autumn is a perfect time to do just that. Located in Wisconsin’s Northwoods, Florence County boosts seven waterfalls, all located along the magnificent Pine and Popple rivers – both Wisconsin’s Wild Rivers.

Spend a day exploring the sights on two designated road tours and take in a few of the waterfalls. For a relaxing and leisurely pace, the clockwise trek around the county to all seven falls should be split into a two-day excursion. Trails to the falls are hilly and rustic and require walkers to be in good physical shape. The list encompasses Meyers and Bull Falls, Jennings Falls, LaSalle Falls, Big and Little Bull Falls and Washburn Falls.

You can also take a relaxing drive on the county’s two designated rustic roads, which combine to form a circular and picturesque drive (Rustic Road-74) among beautiful hardwood forests. Autumn colors fairly explode on the forest canopy and at their peak are amazing.

The roads cross the Popple River several times and pass near Morgan Lake Campground, a National Forest semi-wild campground. You can also see the former Civilian Conservation Corps’ Camp Newald, which operated 1933-42, from nearby Highway 139. It takes about an hour or so to drive the approximately 36 miles of Rustic Road-74.

Rustic Road-74 is located between WIS 139 and Cty. C near the

Town of Fence. From Hwy. 101 take Cty. C west through Fence about 2 miles to Morgan Lake Road (Forest Rd 2159). Travel northwest on Forest Red. 2159 for 5 miles then turn right on Forest Rd. 2161. Drive approximately 7 miles until reaching Twin Rivers Road (Forest Rd. 2398).

Turn southeast on Forest Rd. 2398 and travel 5.7 miles until reaching Newald Road. Turn east on Newald Rd. for 1.5 miles then northeast on Newald Tower Rd. for 2.9 miles. Here travel southeast on Rock Creek Rd. for 6.4 miles until once again reaching the junction with Cty C.

Don’t Miss the Pumpkin Run ATV/UTV Rally

MERCER – Bring your ATV or UTV, or rent one, to the 21st annual Pumpkin Run ATV/UTV Rally in Mercer. The event runs Thursday-Sunday, Oct. 5-8 and is a great opportunity for riders to explore Iron County’s scenic ATV/UTV trails and routes – the largest trail system in Wisconsin, including up to Lake Superior. Gorgeous scenery during the peak of Colorama is another reason riders flock to Mercer and Hurley for this event.

The multi-day event includes the traditional poker run, specials at pit stops and other businesses, and live music. Registration for the poker run, with various stops along the trails, can be done at either the Mercer or Hurley chamber of commerce offices beginning Thursday morning and again Friday. Late registration can be made at the Great Northern Hotel until midnight both days. The poker run ends on Sunday with the drawing.

Friday brings the ATV/UTV/lawn tractor pull at the Liberty Way Tap House beginning at 2 p.m.

Veterans of the rally always look forward to taking part in the Great Pumpkin Parade, which will be Saturday, beginning at 5 p.m. Many of the machines will be decorated.

Contact the chamber at parkfalls.com for updates.

Dryland Dog Dash returns to Winter Park

MINOCQUA – Minocqua Winter Park is becoming quite the activity hub for non-motorized enthusiasts. In addition to being the Midwest premier cross-country skiing destination, Winter Park has embraced mountain biking and for the second time ever, will be a sled dog race venue. (Winter tubing and ice skating are also offered there, as well as disc golf.)

The “Almost Winter” Dryland Dog Dash returns to Winter Park the weekend of Nov. 11 and 12. The Dash features our beloved K9 athletes and their human partners racing on mountain bikes, 3 & 4 wheeled carts/rigs, off road scooters, and canicross (canine + cross country – running with a dog pulling the human via a harness).

All classes, except Saturday’s fun run, are ISDRA and IFSS sanctioned. The fun run is an ideal entry point for someone with an energetic dog and wanting to learn more about the sport, or even participate in a race that weekend.

The event, managed by the Wisconsin Trailblazers Sled Dog Club, gets underway each day at 9 a.m. Spectators are welcomed and food will be available. Winter Park is located west of Minocqua at 78534 Squirrel Hill Road.

LAMBO Event is Another Reason to Ride the Nicolet Roche Trails

WHITE LAKE – From the folks who bring you the challenging (and fun) Wolfman Triathlon, comes their Biketabier Fest on Saturday, Oct. 7. Sponsored by Langlade Area Mountain Bike Association (LAMBA), the annual mountain bike event comprises a poker ride on the beautiful Nicolet Roche trails.

The ride begins at 10 a.m. at River Forest Campground, W510 County Rd, WW, White Lake. It includes food, beverages, live music, and of course raffles. For more information on the event, call 715-891-1200.

LAMBA in conjunction with the Wolfman Triathlon, work together on Nicolet Roche trail maintenance, development of future trail projects as well as events in eastern Langlade/western Oconto counties and Town of Wolf River.

Can’t make the Biketabier Fest? Pick another day – early to mid-October is great for fall colors -- and grab your bike for these recommended trails:

Nicolet Roche Mountain Bike Trail is rated one of the top 10 single track trails in Wisconsin. These trails located in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest are a must ride. Trails are tight and technical but leave you ready to ride more. Trailheads are located on Campground Road at the Boulder Lake Campground Boat Landing, Van Alstine Road as well as Hwy. 64 just east of Langlade for the Northern Section.

The Wolf River State Trail non-motorized section offers several miles of trail to bike or hike from White Lake to Lily. Several lengths are available depending on starting location. From Wallrich Road parking lot to West Hollister Road is 4.9 miles, West Hollister Road to Lily parking lot is 5.7 miles, and from Wallrich Road to Lily is 10.6 miles. The Wolf River State Trail follows along the former Wisconsin Central railroad corridor and is adjacent to the Wolf River. The trail is gravel based in Langlade County and may be rough or soft in sections so tread is more suitable for mountain or gravel bicycles.

Take a Walk on the Spooky Side of Town

HURLEY – Residents and visitors who are in the Hurley area are invited to one or both of the fifth annual Spooky Halloween Trail Walk trails on Saturday, Oct. 21. Northern Iron County Engaged Residents (NICER) is the event sponsor.

First up on the Hurley School’s Adventure Trails is the “Trick and Treat Trail,” from 1-2:30 p.m. Geared for families with younger children, participants are encouraged to arrive in costume. Kids should bring a trick or treat bag to collect candy from the themed stations set

up along the trails. This is “while supplies last.” The cost is just $10 per family. And that’s a treat for parents and other guardians.

Later that evening, from 7-8:30 p.m., the Terror Trail invites youth 12 and older, as well as adults, to walk the dimly lit path. It won’t be for the faint of heart. Along the way will be more themed costume stations that will range from strange and spooky to downright terrifying! This time around, the cost is $10 per person.

Great Views from a Bird’s-Eye Level

With its proliferation of lakes, northcentral Wisconsin might be off your radar screen for finding a tall place in which to view the fall colors. But the following vistas will dispense with that notion, as the views from there during the peak of Colorama (early to mid-October) are simply stunning.

OGEMA – An excellent place to take in the nature’s fall canopy of color is from the top of Timm’s Hill, the highest point (1,952 feet) in Wisconsin. Timm’s Hill is located in a county park.

The park gate is open 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. through October. The park’s hiking trails includes Timm’s Hill National Ice Age Trail and a trail to the observation tower. The entire area is heavily forested with northern hardwoods and is spectacular during the fall color season. From the summit, you can also see Bass Lake and Timm’s Lake. Climb the observation tower for a dramatic panoramic view – 30 miles! -- and keep a lookout for the resident bald eagles!

Take Highway 13 to Ogema, then 5 miles east on Highway 86, south about a half-mile on County C, then east about a half-mile on Rustic Road 62.

MINOCQUA – Minocqua Winter Park & Nordic Center is wellknown for its excellent cross-country ski trails. But don’t miss going to the “Overlook” on top of Squirrel Hill, as the splendid view of the forest from there takes the breath away. The county-owned facility is located a few miles southwest of the downtown.

HARRISON HILLS – Whether you drive, hike or ATV, Harrison Hills near Gleason (between Merrill and Tomahawk) shouldn’t be overlooked. As noted, there are lots of hiking and ATV trails, but also small glacial lakes that are pretty as can be. The area includes 16 miles of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail and the highest point of the Ice Age Trail at Lookout Mountain. Visit ci.merrill.wi.us for more details.

WAUSAU – Fall color enthusiasts flock to Rib Mountain State Park to experience the best of Wausau in autumn. There’s no better spot to see the rich reds, oranges and yellows than from one of the highest points in the entire state. The Rib Mountain State Park Office will be open for the foliage season. The park offers 13 miles of hiking trails and over 8 miles are wheelchair accessible, so everyone in your crew can savor the fall splendor. Visitors must have a state park sticker or a daily pass to enter the park via the access road.

Granite Peak’s fall scenic chairlift rides (until Oct. 15) offer a unique vantage point to take in the changing colors of the Wisconsin River Valley, Lake Wausau and Wisconsin’s second highest peak, Rib Mountain. The Comet Express Chairlift can hold up to six people on a chair and will be operating at a slower pace so guests of all ages and abilities are able to fully take in the views.

Let’s Go Team: Finding the Right Partners

By Troy Prosa, TAP Architecture, St. Croix Falls WI

Assembling a team of qualified professional consultants and trade-related contractors is a critical step in any construction project. When remodeling or rebuilding a cabin, there are many aspects to consider when choosing your team. Different paths require different partners to achieve a successful project.

As with any design, cost and budget are significant factors affecting the scope of the project. They impact both the quantity (size of the project) and the quality (types of materials) related to the project. It’s often a challenge to align the budget with actual construction costs, but the architect working with consultants and a general contractor early in the design phase can help maintain costs in line with budget constraints.

In nearly all instances, the structural engineer is involved with the project as a consultant to the architect. The structural engineer addresses critical questions that must be answered early in the process. What type of foundation does the cabin rest on, and what condition is it in? Does the cabin need updating to meet current codes and construction methods, and can it support modifications or an addition? With any remodeling or new construction project, a soil analysis will be required to determine if conditions are suitable to support the loads or weight imposed on them. Along with the general contractor, the structural engineer can help identify cost considerations related to structural elements.

Determining what phase of the process to assemble other members of the project team is essential. The scope of the plumbing, electrical, or heating systems might significantly impact cost, and determining what those costs are early in the design process helps maintain the budget. A reputable general contractor typically has a list of trades that they would recommend.

Mechanical engineering is responsible for the heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), and sometimes plumbing of the building. These disciplines are handled in two ways:

1. On most residences and smaller projects, they are managed through a design-build process, where the

HVAC contractor designs or retains an engineer. HVAC is under contract with the general contractor and coordinates the work with the architect. Plumbing is usually done on a design-build basis, similar to HVAC.

2. For larger, more complex projects and those requiring licensed certification, mechanical engineering is usually done as a consultant service and part of the architect’s contract with the owner.

Many other disciplines can contribute to the cabin’s design, usually as consultants to the architect. These, too, can be under contract with the architect or directly by the owner:

• Civil engineers who design utilities might be needed to consult on sewer and water, site grading, drainage, and roads and drives.

• Landscape architects engaged in the design of outdoor spaces could enhance exterior spaces to complement the architecture.

• Interior designers can contribute to the inside spaces by designing textures and colors of floors, walls, ceilings, and furnishings.

Any successful project requires a great deal of planning and scheduling. The complexity and size of the project can influence the duration of the design phase. The time of year you start the design process will impact the construction start date. A smaller project or an internal rearrangement can be accomplished yearround, but additions and new construction can have a limited window of opportunity when considering seasonality.

There are many variables in play. Teaming up with the right players is a key to the project’s success.

Old Iron is Not Tired Iron; See Them at Vintage Show

HAYWARD – The snowmobiles of the 60s and 70s may be old, but they’re not all worn out. Every once in a while, you’ll see them on the trails – going at a comfortable speed just as they did when the industry was in its infancy.

There’s been a surge in bringing back the likes of Rupp, Chaparral and John Deere. Some owners are satisfied if their sled just runs; other owners are not happy until the sleds are in showroom condition.

You can see first-hand the classic and vintage sleds at the 15th annual Northwest Relic Riders Vintage Snowmobile Show & Swap on Saturday, Oct. 14, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at Flat Creek Lodge, Hayward.

Nature is Calling All ‘Deer Widows’

CABLE – Wisconsin has a long tradition of fall deer hunting, especially on the “Opening Day.” But for those who choose not to hunt, there’s an opportunity in Cable’s neck of the woods to safely enjoy the outdoors on Saturday, Nov. 18 in 2023.

The Cable Natural History Museum is organizing a “deer widows walk” from 1-3 p.m. on the woodland trails of the Forest Lodge Estate, with a nominal fee for participants. This beautiful, almost-old-growth property on the south shore of Lake Namakagon is off-limits to hunting, which makes it an ideal place to visit on the opening day of gun deer season.

Naturalist Emily Stone will share stories of the property’s cultural and natural history. Participants will walk a mile or more on old logging roads, rain or shine. Blaze orange clothing is still recommended. Participants will meet at the Forest Lodge Nature Trail parking lot at 1 p.m. Register by Nov.16 by visiting cablemuseum.org/event/deer-widows-walk-3 or by calling 715-798-3890.

Fall Brings Better Chance to Spot Elk

CLAM LAKE – You don’t have to travel out West to see elk, one of nature’s magnificent large animals. Over in Sawyer County, Clam Lake – “Elk Capital of Wisconsin” -- has a resident elk herd that continues to grow since their reintroduction in 1995. Elk were extirpated from the state in the 1800s due to overharvesting by hunters.

During summer, with trees all leafed out, it can be difficult to spot one of the estimated 355 animals that roam the Clam Lake elk range. However, your chances are better in September and October during their mating season when elk are often feeding in openings. Best viewing times are at dawn and dusk. There’s a good possibility too that you will hear one or more of the bulls bugling.

Elk can sometimes be spotted along Highway 77 and CTH GG (south to Loretta) in the Clam Lake area (southwest and south of Clam Lake, respectively). If you want to stop, pull your vehicle onto the shoulder for safety reasons. Elk sightings are not confined to the designated areas and routes, as they roam, especially during the mating season. Don’t forget your binoculars, spotting scope if you have one and a camera.

An interactive touch screen kiosk at Hwy. 77 and GG in Clam Lake provides information about the elk herd and their habitat. You can view a video clip of the original elk herd reintroduction. Available are wildlife spotting guides, maps, and directions to nearby viewing areas.

Don’t disturb these wild animals by approaching too closely. Bulls during the mating season are unpredictable and can injure the unwary. Finally, ask permission before venturing onto private property.

Winter Wonderland on the Big Chip

The famous Chippewa Flowage has long been a popular summer destination as Wisconsin’s largest wilderness lake, with good fishing and family fun all the way around its two-hundred plus miles of undisturbed shoreline. Many, though, have yet to experience the Winter season on the historic lake. With an average snowfall of 60 inches a year, the conditions for some of winter’s best activities couldn’t be better.

Now, if you have visited the Flowage in the summer before, you are more than likely an avid fisherman. Unfortunately, your boat has to go in storage at some point. But that doesn’t mean the panfish have stopped biting! The Flowage has now been open for ice fishing for close to a decade. So, grab your ice shack and come back to take advantage of another season of good fishing.

If ice fishing isn’t your preferred winter activity, snowmobiling is arguably the Chippewa Flowage’s largest winter sport. The lake serves as the perfect snowmobile destination; many of the summer resorts and businesses open up for snow season, giving riders plenty of options for food, drink, and lodging. The lake is also a major trail hub, giving riders access to miles and miles of trails. As far as the trails themselves, the local Snowmobile and ATV clubs make the lake easy to navigate with signage and keep the trails in great condition, grooming them several times a week. They give access to destinations in every direction; through the Chequamegon National Forest, taking the Tuscobia State Trail, or even to Hayward itself. The Chippewa Flowage has so much to offer snowmobilers, making this wintertime destination certainly worth a trip.

There are also plenty of opportunities to experience the quieter sports such as cross country skiing and snowshoeing around the area. What better place is there than Wisconsin’s largest wilderness lake to get outside and ski or snowshoe while also experiencing all the tranquility of Wisconsin nature. Breaking fresh snow over the 2 open lakes while eagles soar high above is just another day on the Chippewa Flowage. When paired with a cozy

cabin and roaring fire, it’s a true Up North experience. If quiet isn’t your thing but cross-country skiing is, plan your visit to the Flowage around the American Birkebeiner ski race festivities. If not racing yourself, there is Nordic fun for the whole family to be had in Hayward over Birkie weekend.

The Chippewa Flowage is celebrating 100 years of existence this year. If you have yet to experience the seasonal magic this area can offer, there is no better opportunity than this winter. Endless fresh snow blanketing the scenic landscape make the Chippewa Flowage a veritable winter wonderland. This breathtaking backdrop is the perfect place to experience all your favorite winter activities.

Fall Is Fun in the Western UP

Fall is not only fun, but one of the most beautiful times of the year to visit the Lake Gogebic area. Peak colors that normally begin the last week in September will stretch into the first two weeks of October. Visitors are always amazed at the vibrant variety of colors displayed by our mix of hardwood species and conifers to complete the canvas.

The varied terrain provides a new view over every crest in the road. Hikers, both amateur and experienced, can enjoy the tranquil trails leading to dozens of hidden waterfalls, scenic overlooks, Lake of the Clouds, or the Porcupine Mountains. Others may venture to the top of the famous Copper Pak Ski Flying hill, it will take your breath away.

ATV enthusiasts ride from town to town and see the wilderness from a vantage point while visiting the quaint U.P. pit stops.

Have some food along the way, including one of the famous U.P. pasties. Others will suit up in their blaze orange cap and vest to walk

the endless supply of logging roads and trails in search of ruffled grouse while spending quality time with their canine companions.

Boaters enjoy the view of the largest lake in the U.P. (Lake Gogebic) from a boat or pontoon on a lazy fall day with the painted Gogebic Range as a backdrop. Fishermen get excited for the best walleye fishing of the year. Shore anglers do very well at this time of year just casting from shore or docks.

Many area businesses rent ATVs, snowmobiles, fishing boats and pontoons to help you enjoy the full spectrum. These business owners are a great source for suggestions, ideas and directions to help you enjoy your time in the Lake Gogebic area.

Enjoy a hot cup of coffee while watching the steam rise from the lake on a cool fall morning and stimulate all your senses at this most beautiful time of year!
