Sunsets in your private gazebo, swing set, basketball and volleyball, all for you and your friends! resque Isle, a place in Wisconsin’s famed Northwoods, is a vast swath of forest and glacial lake country that deserves to be named Wisconsin’s Last Wilderness. It is the location of a quaint town in the famous lake country of Vilas County, offering 77 square miles of pine and hardwood forests, lakes and streams; a four season vacation land that only just begins to tell the story. It is immediately adjacent to Michigan’s sprawling Ottawa National Forest and Wisconsin’s 200,000 plus acres of Northern Highland State Forest–offering hundreds of lakes and countless miles of scenic Northwoods back roads. Our large commercial kitchen, family area, satellite TV, ping pong, hot tub, and free use of video games, boats and motors will have you reserving Deer Lake a year in advance. FOR MORE INFORMATION PLEASE call Rob or Terry Hillerich at 847-272-8034 or 847-867-0544 or write: 4305 Lindenwood Ln., Northbrook IL 60062 www.deerlake.biz • [email protected] Sponsored By Deer Lake Resort • Cover Photo courtesy of Bruce Nelson Lake Superior, the Porcupine Mountains, canoe country of the Sylvania Wilderness Tract are a short drive away. Presque Isle is in the center of Wisconsin’s famed Lakeland area. Arts and crafts shops, family fun theme attractions, historical museums and wildlife exhibits are minutes away. Golfing, tennis and horseback riding facilities add to your choices. The top attraction, however, is the natural splendor of Northwoods forests and clear pristine lakes that offer a world of relaxation for all, from the contemplative sports–hiking, photography, canoeing, kayaking, bicycling–to the world of casual or serious trophy fishing, boating and waterskiing. Our glacial hills and clear waters will make you an enthusiastic “discoverer” of Wisconsin’s Last Wilderness. Wildlife abounds–eagles, loons, songbirds to whitetail deer grazing along the roadsides. If you’re lucky, you might see a black bear lumbering along. Whatever your vacation dreams, make them a reality by coming home to Presque Isle.

B & W Presque Isle, WI 54557 715/686-2480 7 Days A Week photos provided by Cathy Logan Weber SUNRISE RESORT early 300 years ago, shipwrecked French priests on the shores of Lake Superior made their way down a river to an area they christened “Presque Isle,” or “Almost an Island,” because of the vast stretches of lakes and rivers that dwarfed the land. The advent of the logging era brought development to the area in the early 1900’s. In 1905 we were known as Fosterville, after one J.J. Foster who built and operated a large saw mill. William S. Winegar bought the mill in 1910 and the fledgling community was 2 renamed “Winegar”. When the mill closed in 1933, the “Lumber Baron” era came to an end. Today the mill ponds are visible from the village and provide a refuge for birds and wildlife. In l955, the village name was changed once again. Reflecting the wisdom and farsightedness of early French missionary priests, we became “Presque Isle” - Almost an Island. A visit to the Heritage Society Museum in downtown Presque Isle will take you back to these simpler times. presqueisle.com “A True Northwoods Experience” • 6 Lakeside Vacation Homes • Screened Porches • Sand Beach • Tubs with Tiled Showers • Part of a Chain of Lakes • Spacious Grounds • Walking Trails • Snowmobile from Door • Smoke-free • Swimming Raft • X-Country Skiing • Grills/Picnic Tables • Hunting • FOUR Seasons of FUN 7632 Hwy.

One of the members’ pet projects is to record the present history for the future. The museum and collections can be viewed by request. "DENIM AND DESSERT” READERS THEATRE is a non-profit organization made up of community members. This dynamic group rehearses a couple of times for each play. The players are able to read and act their lines as opposed to memorizing them. This allows for involvement by many and offers a fun hobby rather than a consuming one. The players put a lot of work and time into set designs and production. Recent productions have included “Suite Surrender” and “Arms and the Man”. Each production is followed by delicious desserts photo by Dean Hall and beverages.

WINTERS are wonderfully long in Presque Isle due to its proximity to Lake Superior and receiving “lake effect” snow. Because of this, its snow-covered winters begin early and end late. With Presque Isle at the hub of a major snowmobile system, a visitor can spend a week and ride a different trail each day. The breathtaking beauty will leave you in awe as you travel the area’s nearly 500 miles of groomed trails winding through rambling forests and over hilly country. These trails frequently lead you to woodland rivers where the flowing water remains open throughout most of the winter. Small bridges breach the snowcovered banks, lending access to other beautiful portions of the Presque Isle vacationland. The local Sno-Bunnies Snowmobile Club does an excellent job of keeping the trails groomed, marked and maintained with their 2011 Tucker Terra and new Tractor with a Soucy Track System. Snowmobile enthusiasts agree, Wisconsin’s Last Wilderness provides endless riding opportunities with something to please every snowmobiler. THE NATURAL BEAUTY OF WISCONSIN’S LAST WILDERNESS is everywhere to be appreciated and enjoyed every season of the year, and with Presque Isle’s proximity to the 24 presqueisle.com Upper Peninsula of Michigan, the options to explore nature’s beauty are endless. Enormous Lake Superior, famed Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park and many outstanding waterfalls are just a short drive away. To reach the Black River Parkway Falls, go north on M-64 or Hwy O to Hwy 2, then west to Bessemer. In Bessemer, turn north on County 513. Follow signs to Copper Peak and Black River Harbor. After passing Copper Peak look for signs to falls. Falls will be on the right. Two beautiful falls near Watersmeet are Bond Falls and Agate Falls. For Bond Falls, take Hwy 45 to the town of Paulding. Go 2.5 miles east on Bond Falls Road. Agate Falls can be reached by taking Hwy 45 from Watersmeet to Old 45 one mile. Stop at Bluff Creek and walk creek on south and west side. photo by Jack Byrnes Numerous other waterfalls are waiting to be enjoyed, including nearly 90 in Porcupine Mountains State Park.
