What’s There to do in the Northwoods
Summer is in full swing in the Northwoods. You probably have your favorite spots lined up in your agenda of what you want to do and places you want to go. But it’s always fun to try something new and visit a place you have never been before. We wanted to give you a few of those options you could add to your list!
If your plans are to be outside and enjoy the spectacular nature only the Northwoods can offer, here are a few options for you to try!
Not far from your door…
Kartway & Rocking “W” Stables & Goats!: The stables are a great place to take kids and adults too! Make sure to bring your pocket change so you can feed the goats! The Kartway has everything you can think of: minigolf, go-carts, inflatables, zip-line, and more!

Shopping Eagle River: Downtown Eagle River holds a special spot in many hearts. Be sure to get your favorite ice cream or candy treat at one of the two delicious candy stores, stop by Grandma’s Toy Box for a special toy or family game, and stop in at Gliks to look at this season’s new fashion pieces. And you might even find a piece of python jerky.
