Things To Do

Hodag Photo Scavenger Hunt

We challenge you to a Hodag photo scavenger hunt. There are dozens of hodag statues throughout town. How many can you find? There will be a prize for whoever finds the most hodags. Official rules to this game will be published by Thursday, 9/19. The Chamber of Commerce may be a good starting point.

Hike at Almon County Park

A great place for a short hike. There are two trail loops each about a mile long. There is also a disc golf course, swimming beach, and picnic shelter.

Project North Music Festival

The town and art gallery is hosting a music festival in downtown. Tickets are required. The bride and groom may stop by the Them Coulee Boys concert Friday night.

Lunch at CT's Deli LLC

Best lunch spot in town. The bar and restaurant closes early. Not open on Sundays.

Pioneer Park Historical Museum

Learn about northern Wisconsin logging and Civilian Conservation Corps history at the historical park. Open weekend mornings in the fall. You may find some hodags lurking in museum exhibits. Have a picnic or play a game of pickleball in the park.

Hike around Hanson Lake

Hike the 2-ish mile trail around Hanson Lake. There is an undeveloped swimming beach (for people or dogs!) on the southeast corner of the lake. This is nice for paddling and there is a boat launch that can be accessed by driving past the soccer fields on a gravel road.

Holmboe Conifer Forest State Natural Area

Head to the Art Gallery

Rent a Kayak or Paddleboard

Rent paddle sports gear from Mel’s Trading post.

McNaughton Lake Hiking Trail

Head north on Hwy 47 and turn left on Kildare Road to find the parking lot and trailhead. A cross country ski trail in the winter, this is a nice place to trail run or hike. Look for signs of otters on the boardwalk on the red loop. The yellow and green loops are very scenic passing by two small lakes with large pine trees.
