Historic Hike & Pub Crawl with NLDC Guides

Learn about Manitowish Waters’ history and visit some local establishments as we hike at a leisurely pace on area trails. Using tour guide headsets, participants can easily hear and learn from Manitowish Waters Historical Society and North Lakeland Discovery Center guides. Trail discussions will include geology, nature, prehistoric times, Ojibwa culture, logging, early resorts, guides, Rest Lake Ranger station, and more. We will stop into several bars/restaurants for refreshments and amazing stories about our town’s past, so please bring cash for beverages. The route is 3.5 miles and mostly along existing trails, and a shuttle is included.
