Crivitz Recreation Association
C
rivitz was founded by German immigrant
Fredderick Bartels. It was named after
his homtown of Crivitz Germany.
The Crivitz area has a deep history of logging.
Logs were moved to mills and lumberyards in
serveral ways, by horse drawn sleds, railroads and
even by waterways. Streams and rivers provided
existing pathways to get logs from woodlands to
processing yards.
The next great change came from the
construction of hydro-electic dams. High Falls
Flowage, on the Peshtigo River, was one of the
earliest successful major hydro projects in
Wisconsin. It is one of twenty-one notable hydro
dams built in the United State before World War I.
The idea was spawned by Frank H. Josslyn.
Being the first dam of four to be built on the
Peshtigo, there were many unforeseen obstacles
that had to be overcome. One of those was the
location. It was built nineteen miles from the
closest rail road at Ellis Junction, now Crivitz.
Because of the poor sand roads, most of the
heavy equipment was hauled from Crivitz in the
winter on sleds pulled by teams of horses. It has
been said it took thirty two horses and a fifteen
man crew seven days to move one eighteen ton
transformer from Crivitz to High Falls.
They threw the switch on the Westinghouse
switch board for the first time on August 15, 1910.
The hydro supplied electric power to the city of
Green Bay and beyond. High Falls Dam has been
continuously producing electricity for over 100
years. The site is listed on the National Register of
Historic Places. With the success of the High Falls
Dam, three more Hydro Power Plants were built
along this stretch of river.
The dam on Lake Noquebay effectively brought
up the level of the lake, enhanced the shoreline,
and enlarged this popular recreation lake.
A byproduct of these dams was the reservoirs
they created. These reservoirs produced fantastic
fishing and recreational areas of great expanse.
Our reputation as a quality fishing area quickly
spread far and wide. This was the beginning for
the tourism in the Crivitz area.

f you haven’t heard by now, our area is an
awesome playground. Part of the reason is
the number of public park areas for our visiting
friends and neighbors to enjoy. Our hundreds
of thousands of acres of county and state owned
lands are dotted with a wide variety of parks and
camping areas. Lake Noquebay, Twin Bridge,
Veterans, and Davis Falls are all county owned
parks. They are also all within a half hour of the
Village of Crivitz. McClintock and Goodman
Parks are a bit further away, but well worth the
drive to see the rapids.

ome join the fun of camping in Wisconsin’s
most beautiful north woods. We’re far
enough to leave troubles behind and close enough so
you don’t have to break the bank to get here. There
are both private and public campgrounds from which
you can enjoy boating, fishing and other outdoor
activities.
Our north woods camping will keep you close to nature
and give you back the sanity the city strife has taken
away. Any old way you want to camp, you can pick
your own pace.

2800-acre
Governor Thompson State
Park is located on the southern
shore of Caldron Falls Flowage just
northwest of Crivitz. Visitors may drive through the
park to view the pristine shoreline of the Peshtigo
River Flowage. The state park has a large picnic area
on Woods Lake, and an improved boat landing on
Caldron Falls Flowage (#13).
It also recently completed a 100-site campground,
three boat access campsites, and 16 miles of hiking
trails to get you off the beaten path to see the
picturesque granite rock outcroppings and the
abundant wildlife that call this retreat their home.
When the snow flies, we have six miles of groomed
ski trails for both classic and skate skiers and 2.5
miles of packed snowshoe trails.
There is a warming shelter available at Woods Lake.
Shore-fishing, ice-fishing and non-motorized boating
is permitted on the two inland lakes. Admission fee
required.

he Peshtigo River is the best stretch of
river in the Midwest and unmatched in
Wisconsin for whitewater rafting. A half hour
northwest of Crivitz is the place to test your
skills on this most exciting adventure. Quiet
water, rapids and falls, are all in this stretch of
river. River trips begin in spring and continue
through summer and early fall. Our rafting
companies cater to the first timer, experienced
hardcore rafters, and all of those that are
somewhere in between. Don’t worry about
being equipped; the rafts, oars and
other gear are supplied to you by
your outfitter.

The scenery is gorgeous.
Granite outcroppings, huge facings, and
near virgin timber forests line the banks
of our whitewater paradise.
If a quieter type of rafting is what you are
looking for then check with your outfitter.
There are a several spots on the river that
you won’t lose the cooler on.

S
ome BEACH right here!
Looking for a little beach action for you and the
kids? How about a little tour of the best beaches in
the near north area.
Start at the big lake, Lake Noquebay Park.
Fine sand and a gradual taper to deeper water make
this one of the most popular swimming spots in the
county. The park also has play ground equipment
for the kids and a boat
landing from which to set sail. Rent the lodge
for gatherings or just for picnic fun.
If fun on the flowage is what you would like to
try, then look up Twin Bridge County Park.
It is just a minute or two from Tommy Thompson
State Park. This park has not only a great beach
area, but, camping, showers, picnic areas, grill sites,
and boat landings up and down the flowage. The
pristine shoreline along the flowage looks
like the far off Canadian wilderness, but it is much
closer to home.
14
Moving on to the jewel of Stephenson township, we head
over to Newton Lake. This recently rebuilt beach area has a
sandy beach area that is just off the main path. Little
Newton has long been a local favorite of both full and part
time residents.
A bit less well known is the beach area at boat landing 7Wolf Rock. Locals swim out to the rock and jump into
deeper water. This landing is not just for the boaters, it’s
also great for the floaters!
Last on the list is an area a bit further north. The scenic
drive up Highway I (Parkway) will take you through a large
part of Marinette County’s Forest land to Goodman Park.
Where’s the beach? Not here. Mother nature has provided
her own water park. The slippery rock formations have
been worn smooth by the constant flow of Peshtigo River
water. If you plan it just right, you slide down the rocks and
into the shallow pool below. This is cool whitewater and
very refreshing on a hot summer day.
T
he two largest and
most popular bodies
of water in this area are Lake
Noquebay and the Peshtigo
River Flowages. The wandering
shorelines on these two waterways provide boaters with hours
of touring pleasure. Forested islands dot
both bodies of water, each one having a little
something different to look at. Whether you
are cruising, skiing, sailing, or just touring. A
boat ride on any of the “Crivitz” lakes is an
enjoyable way to spend the day.

T
he Crivitz area features over 400 miles
of local trails for the ATV enthusiasts.
Start here and ride trails to any part of the
county and beyond. Take a snaky trail or one of
the wide forest ATV roads. This area is truly an
ATV playground for all levels of riders. New
trails and access roads offer access
to lodging, dining, stores, and campgrounds.
We even have ATV campgrounds that cater
to your every riding need. If you haven’t
been on our trails lately, you haven’t been
on our trails.

rivitz has long been known as the
“Gateway to the North.” With that
“gateway” comes a mix of agriculture and
woodland property that adds up to a
sportsman’s paradise that is not often found
so conveniently close to the southern portion
of Wisconsin. Thousands of acres of county
forest, state forest, and national forest, provide
the avid hunter with nearly unlimited space to
pursue their quarry. Every year the whitetail
deer harvest in Crivitz and surrounding
Marinette County ranks at or near the top for
whitetail deer hunting in Wisconsin.
Looking for something a little more
adventurous? Black bear populations have
recently increased to numbers that give better
chances for success than
was ever dreamed of.
Ruffed grouse is the
upland game bird of
choice and we have easy
access to some of the
best grouse habitat
anywhere in the north
woods.
Sportsman love our
“Gateway to the
North”.

ach fall, where the dairy land turns
to forest, the colors turn into a visual
playground that attracts fall visitors looking to
see nature’s handy work. No two autumn scenes
are alike. Each year brings a change in favorite
tour areas.
You can do a little shopping and have a cup of
coffee, or a milkshake while you take your own
fall colors tour.

iles of snowmobile and cross
country ski trails are here in all
types of terrain. You can travel hills in the
woods, across blowing fields, or navigate through
our Peshtigo River Valley. Don’t miss the trails
from Lake Noquebay to The Menominee River.
We have incredible trails on county land, state
forests, and through the private woods owned
by generous landowners.
If you are new to the sport, rent yourself all the
gear or machines you need, or bring your own
and test your ability. Our trails connect with
others, not that you would ever want to leave,
but it helps for when you are looking to find
your way back. THINK SNOW!!!
