We’ve already talked about why spring is a great time to visit Boulder Junction, so let’s take a look at a few of the things you should do on your spring getaway to the Northwoods of Wisconsin. Here’s a top ten list to get you started.
- Take an early-season paddle along the Manitowish River. Discover what to see and do along the river here and learn more about Manitowish River paddling trips here.
- Look up at night! The days are getting longer, but the open sky in the spring is a stargazer’s delight.

- Grab a group of friends and attend one of the Boulder Junction ATV/UTV Club Rides beginning in June or just take a spin around town and visit your favorite local restaurants and shops.

- Get ready to treasure hunt at the Lions Club Weekly Flea Market, which starts in early June.
- Dust off your bicycle, pump up the tires, and plan your ride along the Heart of Vilas County Trail, which connects Boulder Junction to several other Northwoods communities.
