Crivitz.info@Crivitz.us C rivitz was founded by German immigrant Fredderick Bartels. It was named after his hometown of Crivitz Germany. The Crivitz area has a deep history of logging. Logging started in the 1800s with the harvest of virgin white pine. Some of those great pine stumps can still be seen scattered about the forest. Logs were moved to mills and lumberyards in several ways, by horse drawn sleds, railroads, and even by waterways. Streams and rivers provided existing pathways to get logs from the woodlands in the north and central portions of the county to the processing yards in Peshtigo. A tree cut in Middle Inlet, for example, would be floated down the Middle Inlet Creek into Lake Noquebay, then through the Noquebay outlet, and on to the Peshtigo River to the City of Peshtigo itself. The new generation of forest provides both jobs and industries along with tourist opportunities. The northwoods forest is indirectly why people come to the Crivitz area. People come to see the forested shores on many lakes, hunt, fish, bird watch or take a quiet walk alone on a woodsy trail on some of the public lands. Years ago lumberjacks came from all parts of the world for the logging boom. Many of them stayed to form our mixed ethnic heritage. The next great change came from the construction of hydro-electric dams. High Falls Flowage, on the Peshtigo River, was the first hydro electric dam to be built on this river. The dam was finished in 1910 and supplied electric power to the City of Green Bay and beyond. With the success of the High Falls Dam three more hydro power plants were built along this stretch of river. The dam on Lake Noquebay effectively brought up the level of the lake, enhanced the shoreline, and enlarged this popular recreation lake. A byproduct of these dams was increased fish populations and the great fishing the Crivitz area is known for. Our reputation for large & numerous fish spread wide and far. This was the beginning for tourism in the Crivitz Area. www.crivitz.com ❘ www.crivitzrecreation.com 1 McClintock Park; courtesy David Heritsch I f you haven’t heard by now, our area is an awesome playground. Part of the reason is the number of public park areas for our visiting friends and neighbors to enjoy. Our hundreds of thousands of acres of county and state owned lands are dotted with a wide variety of parks and camping areas. Lake Noquebay, Twin Bridge, Veterans, and Davis Falls are all county owned parks. They are also all within a half hour of the Village of Crivitz. McClintock and Goodman Parks are a bit further away, but well worth the drive to see the rapids. 2 www.crivitz.com ❘ www.crivitzrecreation.com h David Heritsc rk; courtesy Goodman Pa Quiet water is right in Crivitz at Don Brooks Memorial park, a favorite launching spot for quiet water rafters.

You will not have a problem fitting a show into your vacation. There are performances three nights a week starting midJune through mid-August.

Looking for a little beach action for you and the kids? How about a little tour of the best beaches in the near north area. Start at the big lake, Lake Noquebay Park. Fine sand and a gradual taper to deeper water make this one of the most popular swimming spots in the county. The park also has play ground equipment for the kids and a boat landing from which to set sail. Rent the lodge for gatherings or just for picnic fun. If fun on the flowage is what you would like to try, then look up Twin Bridge County Park. It is just a minute or two from Tommy Thompson State Park. This park has not only a great beach area, but, camping, showers, picnic areas, grill sites, and boat landings up and down the flowage. The pristine shoreline along the flowage looks like the far off Canadian wilderness, but it is much closer to home. 14 Moving on to the jewel of Stephenson township, we head over to Newton Lake. This recently rebuilt beach area has a sandy beach area that is just off the main path. Little Newton has long been a local favorite of both full and part time residents. A bit less well known is the beach area at boat landing 7-Wolf Rock. Locals swim out to the rock and jump into deeper water. This landing is not just for the boaters, it’s also great for the floaters! Last on the list is an area a bit further north. The scenic drive up Highway I (Parkway) will take you through a large part of Marinette County’s Forest land to Goodman Park. Where’s the beach? Not here. Mother nature has provided her own water park. The slippery rock formations have been worn smooth by the constant flow of Peshtigo River water. If you plan it just right, you slide down the rocks and into the shallow pool below. This is cool whitewater and very refreshing on a hot summer day. T he two largest and most popular bodies of water in this area are Lake Noquebay and the Peshtigo River Flowages. The wandering shorelines on these two waterways provide boaters with hours of touring pleasure. Forested islands dot both bodies of water, each one having a little something different to look at. Whether you are cruising, skiing, sailing, or just touring. A boat ride on any of the “Crivitz” lakes is an enjoyable way to spend the day. photo courte sy Becky Po pp C rivitz is only an hour north of Green Bay, 180 miles north of Milwaukee and 240 miles north of Chicago.
