Northern Wisconsin |
What's There: |
The Northern Highland was once
a mountain range similar to the Alps or Rocky Mountains. Over
hundreds of millions of years, the mountains were worn down and
flattened by erosion and glaciation. Today, the region is
mostly hilly forests and lakes ... and our summertime adventure.
We will canoe through a chain of lakes with only a couple of very
short portages. There will be plenty of time for relaxation
and fishing along the way. |
