Fall Highlights

Maple, oak and birch colors arrive in a blaze of glory and depart with the soft glow of the tamarack. Autumn is a great time for retreats, introspection, exploring and learning. Spend warm, simple days outdoors hiking or canoeing, and enjoy cool nights by a fire. Fall availability runs just after Labor Day Weekend through the end of October and Thanksgiving week through December.

Spring Highlights

Spring is a time of considerable change in the north woods. The small streams churn full from the snowmelt. Spring flowers push their way through the last bit of crusted snow. The forest is awakening—come watch and listen. March through May are incredible months to watch the rebirth of the north woods.
