No matter what the season, there
is plenty to do in the Crivitz area. Springtime is special here
at the Peshtigo River Inn. The warm weather brings spring melt
down, and with it, whitewater rafting on the Peshtigo River,
the best whitewater rafting in the Midwest. Several area outfitters
offer guided trips starting in early April.
In addition, the spring thaw
activates the many waterfalls in Marinette County. Many are accessible
to the public. A tour map is available through Marinette County.
Summer brings a multitide of
recreational opportunities with nearby hiking and biking trails
as well as abundant water resources for swimming, boating and
fishing. We are close to the Nicolet National Forest as well
as the Peshtigo River State Forest and Governor Thompson State
Park surrounding HIgh Falls and Caldron Falls Flowages.
Marinette County has over 200
lakes and 2,000 miles of streams plus 19 County Parks and 231,000
acres of County Forest Land. Fishing opportunities range from
panfish to trophy Muskies and everything in between.
The local waterski team performs
twice weeking in the summer on Lake Noquebay, just a few miles
north. The avid golfer will enjoy the variety of top notch golf
courses nearby and the treasure hunter will find an abundance
of antique, gift and novelty stores in the area waiting to be
explored.
Autumn brings the changing of
the landscape as it becomes alive with fall color. The color
change is drawn out over a month, usaully from mid-September
to mid-October, as the wide variety of trees take their turn
to change and loose their leaves. From the early Maples with
their billiant yellows and reds to the late season Oaks with
their deep gold and rust colors, you can be sure to catch part
of the show an any fall weekend.
Marinette County is also a popular
destination for the hunter, and local species include bear, turkey
and whitetail deer. There are many public hunting areas available
for your use.
Things don't slow down in Winter.
The snow and cold brings snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and
ice fishing. We are located at the junction of two snowmobile
trail systems which connect you to all of Marinette County and
beyond to the Nicolet National Forest and the UP. In addition,
there are groomed cross country ski trails just west of Crivitz
as well as in the nearby Nicolet National Forest. Equipment rental
is available locally.
There are many locally sponsored
winter activities including ice fishing derbies, snowmobile races
and winter festivals. Local snowmobile clubs also sponser brat
fries and poker runs to help raise money for the upkeep of local
trails.
Come join us for some of the
fun that we have here at the Peshtigo River Inn. We hope to see
you soon. |
