Did You Know This? Recent Discoveries in Northwest Wisconsin
- There are some pretty awesome mountain and fat bike trails near Spooner. The Wildcat Mountain and Fat Bike Trail is 19 miles long and located off of Highway 70, 3 miles east of Spooner. Keep this in mind for next summer!
- The indoor swimming pool at Voyager Village is pretty great! The pool is huge (depth is 3-5 feet), and there are some pool toys available. The fee to swim is $3 for kids and $5 for adults, but the best part is that you can order food from their restaurant and have it delivered to you right at the pool.
I’d Like an Order Of…Top Eats in the Area
- The half naked cheese curds at The 715 Food & Spirits in Shell Lake are soft and gooey fresh Ellsworth cheese that is covered with just the right amount of breading.
- Giant Italian meatballs at Pogo’s! Pogo’s Harbor Inn on County Road T near Gordon serves up Italian meatballs just like Grandma used to make (if you were lucky!). The plate of spaghetti and giant meatball is from their children’s menu and was a hit! The giant meatball sandwich….had to be eaten with a knife and fork…messy but so good!
- Have you eaten the Friday night fish fry at Summit Lake Game Farm (southeast of Stone Lake)? We ate there a couple of weeks ago, and the fish is delicious! The deep fried fish has a light crispy batter and you get a choice of potato (cheesy potatoes!), a dish of coleslaw, and a baguette with both garlic butter and honey cinnamon butter. The fish dinner is all you can eat and costs $14. Their cheeseburgers are pretty tasty too!
