Hidden Valley
I haven't gone skiing here in years but I remember we used to have lots of winter fun here back in the old days....

Devil's River Campers Park
We seasonal camped there everyday last summer and found it to be an excellent family destination!  great management, great people, virtually no problems whatso-ever with loud partiers.  awesome waterfalls and a running river the kids can wade in, nice clean pool and free hot showers!...

Engledinger Lake
12 miles away
tried our luck at fishing there. I would describe it as POOR at best. We only caught one little blue gill and it was a nightmare trying to launch our small boat!!!!...

Jetzers Lake
15 miles away
A few large Northern Pike and a 22 inch bass taken lately throug the ice. Lots of large blue gill and crappie but they are hard to find....

Little Elkhart Lake
19 miles away
I am inquiring about Camp Anokijij.  My father was one of the founder's of this camp for the YMCA in Racine, Wisconsin.  He met my mother at this camp.  This would have been in 1927 when the camp was first being built.  I spent my summers as a young girl at Camp Anokijij - living in Squaw Village while my Dad, (Andy Andersen) was working at the camp.  My three older brothers all attended the camp during the summers.   I have many fond memories of this place.  I worked there in 1958 as a senior staff counselor.     I would be interested in visiting there for just a few hours during the week of June 16th - I am traveling in Wisconsin during that week.  I understand that it is no longer a YMCA camp.  I am curious as to who is now running Camp Anokijij.  Interesting that they kept the same name.  I still know the songs that we sang  with Camp Anokijij in it.   Sincerely,  Kirsten Arthur...

Baird Creek
21 miles away
I am the past president of the Baird Creek Preservation Foundation and I am also an experienced paddler. I comfortably do Class 4 water and I have done some Class 5. I am not sure if I would recommend that section of Baird Creek for anyone. There is only enough water during extreme flood situations. Most years there is no single flood event that would bring Baird Creek up to paddleable levels. There are a tremendous number of logs and entire trees across the creek. During flood situations the potential to get pinned against or under deadfalls would be very high....

Alpine Valley is a very good ski resort for being in Wisconsin, it's a bit more on the easy side of the spectrum so if you're an advanced skier you might get bored. But I love it, it's a great place for a relaxing day of skiing. I come here a lot with my family and we all like it....

Grand Geneva
85 miles away
I think Grand Geneva is where I went skiing last year when I was up there visiting some old friends, but it may have been some other similar place. It was my first time skiing, it was great. I fell a lot but you know, you just get up again, that's just the way it goes. Looking forward to going again some time....

Nordic Mountain

...d up winter recreation to everyone.
In addition to the tubing park, Nordic Mountain continues to undergo many changes and improvements-one of the biggest in snowmaking.
Nordic Mountain can make snow on 100% of its terrain including the tubing park. With the improvements in snowmaking technology, they can produce higher quality snow and do so in warmer temperatures. In the past few years Nordic Mountain has more than doubled its snowmaking capacity. The goal is to open earlier, close later, and remain open on marginal winter days. One of the biggest projects to improve snowmaking at Nordic Mountain will serve a dual purpose. The addition of a 10 million gallon snowmaking pond will not only supply more cold water for snowmaking, but in the summer of 2009 is scheduled to be made into the second wakeboard winch park in the country.
Nordic Mountain has always been considered a great place to learn. It is known as a great family hill at a very affordable price. That tradition continues while changes like improved terrain parks and new glade trails help to keep the skiers and s...
