Sunsets in your private gazebo, swing set, basketball and volleyball, all for you and your friends!
resque Isle, a place in Wisconsin’s
famed Northwoods, is a vast swath of
forest and glacial lake country that
deserves to be named Wisconsin’s Last
Wilderness. It is the location of a quaint
town in the famous lake country of Vilas
County, offering 77 square miles of pine
and hardwood forests, lakes and streams;
a four season vacation land that only just
begins to tell the story. It is immediately
adjacent to Michigan’s sprawling Ottawa
National Forest and Wisconsin’s 200,000
plus acres of Northern Highland State
Forest–offering hundreds of lakes and
countless miles of scenic Northwoods
back roads.
Our large commercial kitchen, family area, satellite TV, ping
pong, hot tub, and free use of video games, boats and motors will have you reserving Deer Lake a year in advance.
FOR MORE INFORMATION PLEASE call Rob or Terry

Lake Superior, the Porcupine Mountains,
canoe country of the Sylvania Wilderness
Tract are a short drive away. Presque Isle
is in the center of Wisconsin’s famed
Lakeland area. Arts and crafts shops,
family fun theme attractions, historical
museums and wildlife exhibits are
minutes away. Golfing, tennis and horseback riding facilities add to your choices.
The top attraction, however, is the natural
splendor of Northwoods forests and clear
pristine lakes that offer a world of
relaxation for all, from the contemplative
sports–hiking, photography, canoeing,
kayaking, bicycling–to the world of casual
or serious trophy fishing, boating and
waterskiing. Our glacial hills and clear
waters will make you an enthusiastic
“discoverer” of Wisconsin’s Last Wilderness.
Wildlife abounds–eagles, loons, songbirds
to whitetail deer grazing along the roadsides. If you’re lucky, you might see a
black bear lumbering along.
Whatever your vacation dreams, make
them a reality by coming home to
Presque Isle.

SUNRISE RESORT
early 300 years ago, shipwrecked
French priests on the shores of Lake
Superior made their way down a river to
an area they christened “Presque Isle,”
or “Almost an Island,” because of the vast
stretches of lakes and rivers that dwarfed
the land.
The advent of the logging era brought
development to the area in the early
1900’s. In 1905 we were known as
Fosterville, after one J.J. Foster who built
and operated a large saw mill.
William S. Winegar bought the mill in
1910 and the fledgling community was
2
renamed “Winegar”. When the mill closed
in 1933, the “Lumber Baron” era came to
an end. Today the mill ponds are visible
from the village and provide a refuge for
birds and wildlife.
In l955, the village name was changed
once again. Reflecting the wisdom and
farsightedness of early French missionary
priests, we became “Presque Isle” - Almost
an Island.
A visit to the Heritage Society Museum in
downtown Presque Isle will take you
back to these simpler times.

THE PRESQUE ISLE HERITAGE COTTAGE
MUSEUM is located on the corner of Hwy B &
School Loop Road. The Presque Isle Heritage
Society is an organization committed to preserving
the past history of the town of Fosterville/Winegar/
Presque Isle. One of the members’ pet projects is to
record the present history for the future. The
museum and collections can be viewed by request.
"DENIM AND DESSERT” READERS THEATRE is a non-profit organization made up
of community members. This dynamic group rehearses a couple of times for each play.
The players are able to read and act their lines as opposed to memorizing them. This
allows for involvement by many and offers a fun hobby rather than a consuming one.
The players put a lot of work and
time into set designs and production. Recent productions have included “Suite Surrender” and “Arms
and the Man”. Each production is
followed by delicious desserts
photo by Dean Hall
and beverages.
Come back to the finest steak, seafood and
old German specialties in the Northwoods…

VAN VLIET HEMLOCKS
This recently developed trail system gives visitors the opportunity to explore and experience what was once abundant in Wisconsin;
an old growth hemlock forest. The site’s 400
acres and mile and a half of undeveloped
shoreline represent a rare remnant of this
photo by Jill Wilm
uniquely historic forest system. Walk along
undisturbed cedar swamps, bog lakes, climb scenic eskers, and take in the richness
of the plant and animal life that abounds in this special place.

PRESQUE ISLE NATURE TRAIL SYSTEM
You will want to walk the Nature trail system behind
the Community Center on top of the hill in Presque
Isle. The Nature Trail loop is handicapped accessible
with a lake overlook, a footbridge and views through
maples and ferns. You will also find signs to identify some
native plants. Another trail in the system winds through
the woods to the Shanty Boy Cemetery, a burial and
memorial place for loggers of long ago. Parking and restrooms available at the Presque Isle Community Park.

SHANTY BOY HILL
This historic cemetery, located northwest of the Presque
Isle Community Center behind the baseball diamond, is
maintained as a memorial to the men who risked their
lives logging the northwoods, the "Shanty Boys". Many
were buried with only a first name or no name at all.

SENSENBRENNER PARK
While keeping “Wisconsin’s Last Wilderness” in mind Presque Isle has created several
charming parks within the community. Established in 1988, Sensenbrenner Park is
located on Main Street. The highlight of this park is Little Horsehead Lake Dam.
Also available is playground equipment for little ones, a fishing pier and a pavilion with
a grill and a canoe launch.

PIPKE PARK
This beautiful walking/birding area near
town encircles two ponds. These ponds were
used in the logging era to float logs and
most recently as a walleye rearing facility. The
trail begins near 11662 County Road W. Drive
in and left to the parking area, where you will
find a new pavilion with rest rooms and a picnic area, available both summer and winter.
From the parking area you can walk around
the pond passing the children’s fishing pier,
exercise stations, wildflowers and wildlife. In winter, the heated pavilion will be available for skiers, snowshoers and skaters. An area near the pavilion will be cleared for
skating. You can also enjoy this trail as part of the Presque Isle/ Winchester Bike Route.

Presque Isle Community Library welcomes your visit, whether you are a full
time resident or just visiting our area.
Available resources include fiction, nonfiction, large print books, audio books,
magazines, VHS and DVD. Nine public
computer stations offer high speed
internet access, and 24/7 wireless can

WINTERS are wonderfully long in Presque
Isle due to its proximity to Lake Superior
and receiving “lake effect” snow. Because
of this, its snow-covered winters begin
early and end late.
With Presque Isle at the hub of a major
snowmobile system, a visitor can spend a
week and ride a different trail each day.
The breathtaking beauty will leave you in
awe as you travel the area’s nearly 500
miles of groomed trails winding through
rambling forests and over hilly country.
These trails frequently lead you to
woodland rivers where the flowing water
remains open throughout most of the
winter. Small bridges breach the snowcovered banks, lending access to other
beautiful portions of the Presque Isle
vacationland. The local Sno-Bunnies
Snowmobile Club does an excellent job of
keeping the trails groomed, marked and
maintained with their 2011 Tucker Terra
and new Tractor with a Soucy Track
System. Snowmobile enthusiasts agree,
Wisconsin’s Last Wilderness provides
endless riding opportunities with
something to please every snowmobiler.
THE NATURAL BEAUTY OF
WISCONSIN’S LAST WILDERNESS is
everywhere to be appreciated and
enjoyed every season of the year, and
with Presque Isle’s proximity to the
24
presqueisle.com
Upper Peninsula of Michigan, the
options to explore nature’s beauty are
endless. Enormous Lake Superior, famed
Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State
Park and many outstanding waterfalls are
just a short drive away. To reach the Black
River Parkway Falls, go north on M-64 or
Hwy O to Hwy 2, then west to Bessemer.
In Bessemer, turn north on County 513.
Follow signs to Copper Peak and Black
River Harbor. After passing Copper Peak
look for signs to falls. Falls will be on the
right. Two beautiful falls near Watersmeet
are Bond Falls and Agate Falls. For Bond
Falls, take Hwy 45 to the town of Paulding.
Go 2.5 miles east on Bond Falls Road.
Agate Falls can be reached by taking Hwy
45 from Watersmeet to Old 45 one mile.
Stop at Bluff Creek and walk creek on
south and west side.

Numerous other waterfalls are waiting to
be enjoyed, including nearly 90 in
Porcupine Mountains State Park. Please
see the Chamber for more information.
