Rice Lake, WI


Rice Lake itself is the signature spot for this city. A prime spot for fishing and boating and is just one of the many lakes that can be found in the rolling hills of the Rice Lake area. Downtown borders the lake and is full of specialty shops, restaurants and home decoration stores. Recreation is big in this area with at least four different trails available including the Ice Age Trail. In winter there’s snowmobiling, skiing and even a curling match at the Rice Lake Curling Club. You can help celebrate Rice Lake’s lumbering past at area museums or its love of the lakes with the big Aquafest event in June.

The Ice Age Trail is a thousand mile footpath that winds throughout the state of Wisconsin and is only in Wisconsin. It follows the path of the glaciers that moved into the area twelve thousand years ago and left behind some incredible landscape. In this episode we focus on four areas in the northwest where the trail and rock formations will leave you in awe. St. Croix Falls, Rusk County, Rice Lake and Chippewa County. You’ll learn more about the trail, which has also been designated a National Park and about the hundreds of volunteers who keep the trail beautiful through the Ice Age Trail Alliance. You’ll also learn more about what’s available for you to see and do in these four areas.
