elcome to Crivitz and the Near North vacationland,
your affordable family destination.
Located one hour north of Green Bay, in the heart of the north
woods, we have everything you want in a vacation area. We’re
just closer than the others. Our county is the “set your own pace”
place. Go like the dickens or take your time and proceed quietly.
As you will see, there is plenty to do here, or plenty of ways to sit
back and do nothing.
The Near North is a great place to live, work and play.
We hope to see you soon!

C
rivitz was founded by German immigrant
Fredderick Bartels. It was named after
his hometown of Crivitz Germany.
The Crivitz area has a deep history of logging.
Logging started in the 1800s with the harvest of
virgin white pine. Some of those great pine stumps
can still be seen scattered about the forest. Logs
were moved to mills and lumberyards in several
ways, by horse drawn sleds, railroads, and even
by waterways. Streams and rivers provided
existing pathways to get logs from the woodlands
in the north and central portions of the county to
the processing yards in Peshtigo. A tree cut in
Middle Inlet, for example, would be floated down
the Middle Inlet Creek into Lake Noquebay, then
through the Noquebay outlet, and on to the
Peshtigo River to the City of Peshtigo itself. The
new generation of forest provides both jobs and
industries along with tourist opportunities. The
northwoods forest is indirectly why people come
to the Crivitz area. People come to see the
forested shores on many lakes, hunt, fish, bird
watch or take a quiet walk alone on a woodsy trail
on some of the public lands.
Years ago lumberjacks came from all parts of the
world for the logging boom. Many of them stayed
to form our mixed ethnic heritage.
The next great change came from the
construction of hydro-electric dams. High Falls
Flowage, on the Peshtigo River, was the first hydro
electric dam to be built on this river. The dam was
finished in 1910 and supplied electric power to the
City of Green Bay and beyond. 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 increased fish
populations and the great fishing the Crivitz area
is known for. Our reputation for large & numerous
fish spread wide and far. This was the beginning
for tourism in the Crivitz Area.

I
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.

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.

olks love to come to Crivitz to fish.
Whether you are a hardcore Musky
hunter or just want to wet a line while you let
the sun tan your hide, the places to fish in this
area are beautiful, peaceful, and brimming with
plenty of fish. Hit the lakes, streams or rivers.
Fish for the big one or let the kids catch
so many pan fish you’ll get tired of baiting
their hook. Get serious about May walleye,
June bluegills, August smallmouth, September
sturgeon, October musky, then start all
over when the ice gives you access to all
of the above.

id you know Wisconsin has more water
ski teams than any other state and two
of the best are in the Crivitz area? You will not have

Both shows have no admission fee, but donations
are welcome. Food and refreshments are available
for purchase on site. Bring your lawn chair or
blanket to watch the show. These shows are

Wisconsin, including those who have skied
professionally all over the world. You will see
unbelievable barefoot pyramids, twenty girl ballet
lines, mixed doubles, four tier pyramids and jumping
that will have you asking “how did they do that?”

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 7-Wolf 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.

rivitz is only an hour north of
Green Bay, 180 miles north of
Milwaukee and 240 miles north of Chicago.
You can easily use interstate highways or
country roads, whichever is your pleasure, or

The Crivitz Airport is located in the town of
Stephenson, just 3 miles west of Crivitz on County
Road W in Marinette County’s recreational area.
The airport features a 2,500 ft. paved runway with
pilot controlled lights and a well maintained turf
runway. Free tie downs are available for visiting

see nature’s handywork. No two autumn scenes

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.

“Gateway to the North”.

T
he Crivitz area features over 400 miles

ATV playground for all levels of riders. New

dining, stores, and campgrounds. We even
