It takes more than a weekend to explore all that Florence County has to offer. There are 200,000 acres of public land to plan outdoor adventures. Ride our trails on your ATV/UTV or snowmobile to burn off some stress. Rejuvenate Up North by hiking, biking, cross country skiing or snowshoeing our trails or blaze your own trail through the woods.

Paddle undeveloped rivers to reconnect with nature. Take your kids geocaching in the Nicolet National Forest to see their excitement at finding the hidden treasure. Enjoy a beautiful day on the water fishing, swimming, waterskiing or kayaking our lakes. Every season brings new colors, berries to pick or game to hunt here in the Northwoods. If history is your thing, the Historical Society Museum is a must do.
