Overview

Spearhead Point Shelter is a day-use picnic site for large groups. It is located in one of the most popular areas surrounding Mondeaux Flowage in northern Wisconsin. Nearby, visitors can access the lake and numerous trails.

Boating, swimming and fishing are popular activities. Anglers can expect to find a variety of species, including pike, largemouth bass and bluegill. Boats with and without motors are allowed on the lake, however the lake is quite shallow in some areas. A portion of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail is easily accessed from the campground. The trail is open to hiking and wanders 1,200 miles along the edge of a historic glacier that once covered the state of Wisconsin and much of North America.

The accessible picnic shelter can accommodate up to 30 people. It is equipped with picnic tables and grills. Two stone fireplaces are available inside the shelter. Accessible vault toilets and drinking water are also provided.

Overnight camping is not allowed at the shelter but is available at adjacent Spearhead Point Campground.

Hike to Timm's Hill

Ogema, Wisconsin

4.5

0.5 mi / 150 ft gain

Hike to one of the easiest high points in the country. Standing at only 1,951 feet, Wisconsin's Timms Hill isn't going to be the most impressive climb you do, but it is still worth the hike. The entire area is a county park with plenty of amenities. Take the short 1/4 hike to the top of the hill, and climb the observation tower. The tower offers 360 unobstructed views of the surrounding Wiscons...

Hike Grandfather Falls on the Ice Age Trail

Irma, Wisconsin

1 mi / 100 ft gain

About 12 miles north of Merrill on 107, there is easy access parking from either the dam on the north or Camp New Wood County Park to the south. We started at the Falls and hiked south to enjoy the rock formation known throughout the Ice Age Trail. While early June meant a cloud of biting insects, the mood didn’t suffer. We met a few people fishing off the rocks, some through hikers and a few d...

On the south end of old Snake Bridge, now called McCleary on 17th Avenue, a small landing on Mallard Lane provides a less crowded location to drop your kayaks and easily park. Here you don’t have to contend with boat traffic rocking your course. Take the river channel under the bridg...

Stroll the Trillium Trail

Rib Mountain, Wisconsin

1.6 mi

From South Mountain Road, turn onto Trillium Lane behind the Rib Mountain Fire Station. Follow Trillium Lane southeast, which acts as the bike path, to the dead-end where a small parking lot is. My friend and I strolled the wide paved path through the wooded wetland area. This project was just completed in September 2020 and is of solid construction, featuring trash receptacles, dog bags, board...
