  • Hoofer Mountaineering Club 800 Langdon St., Madison, WI 53706
    Hoofer Mountaineering Club 800 Langdon St., Madison, WI 53706 To: the Wisconsin Natural Resources Board, and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Re: implementation of Act 168, The Sporting Heritage Act For the sake of public safety, we recommend that the Department of Natural Resources and the Natural Resources Board close to hunting and trapping those non-designated use areas in State Parks that are regularly used for rock climbing, ice climbing, and bouldering. Our specific recommendations are detailed below. Climbing in State Parks Rock climbing is a traditional outdoor recreation with nearly a century-long history in Wisconsin, and is recognized as such in NR 1.33. Rock climbing, like hunting, is allowed solely in non-designated use areas. Some DNR personnel are aware that climbing goes on at some State Parks, but none have a thorough understanding of when and where rock climbing occurs. NR 1.33 stipulates that rock climbing be considered in planning, but for decades this has been at best inconsistent. The previous hunting maps and the currently proposed hunting and trapping maps for State Parks demonstrate this lack of knowledge and lack of consideration. Our recommendations are intended to fill that gap. Hunting and Climbing What hunters gain from Act 168 are simplified regulations. No more special permits for State Parks. If hunting is in season anywhere, it is in season in State Parks, and with any weapon for any game. Trapping will essentially be another form of hunting. Both the NRB and the DNR have stated that implementation of Act 168 should give hunters the maximum opportunity to hunt, without displacing other park users.

  • 36 Hours in Wausau
    36 Hours – Wausau, WI Friday, March 18 – Sunday, March 20, 2005 Well known as a center for insurance and paper – think Wausau Insurance and Wausau Paper – Wausau’s reputation is considerably larger than the community itself. With only 38,000 city residents and an area population of about 85,000, the cultural amenities and natural resources that characterize Wausau are far grander than might be expected based on population alone. Located in north central Wisconsin at the intersection of the state’s major north-south and east-west highways – 51/39 and 29 – and not far from the geological epicenter of the Northwest Hemisphere (see more about that below), Wausau offers visitors a taste of Wisconsin traditions, an opportunity to revel in nature’s beauty, and an array of world-class artworks. Friday, March 18 5 p.m. 1. Snake Your Way to a Brew Wind your way toward downtown Wausau via the recently opened Snake Bridge (easy access from County Highway NN or Rib Mountain Drive) that spans Lake Wausau and provides a glimpse of scores of ice-fishing shacks, a winter tradition in the northwoods. Snowmobilers also cruise Lake Wausau as well as take advantage of more than 800 miles of groomed trails that crisscross Marathon County. Once across the bridge, take 17th Avenue to Sherman Avenue, turn left and travel a short distance to Hereford & Hops, Wausau’s award-winning brew pub offering ten specialty beers brewed on site. Sample a seasonal specialty like the Winter Wobbler or a Schwarzbier (2305 Sherman Street, 715-849-3700). 6 p.m.

  • Recreation, Tourism, and Cultural Resources
    Chapter 11: Recreation, Tourism, and Cultural Resources This chapter describes the recreation amenities, tourism and visitor facilities, and cultural resources in Marathon County. The recreation amenities consist primarily of a strong county park and forest unit system, as well as several prominent state and private facilities. Tourism is an economic driver in Marathon County, so attention is paid to current tourist attractors and opportunities for expansion. The cultural resources section includes a history of Marathon County and catalogues the historic properties and sites within the county as well as arts and performing arts spaces. Previous Plans and Studies Marathon County Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (CORP) The Marathon County Board, Wausau/Marathon County Park Commission, Forestry, Recreation, and Zoning Committee developed the plan. It was effective through the years of 2007-2012. The overall goal of the plan is “to provide a park and forest recreation system that will meet the needs of our current and future generations, preserve and protect the County’s open space, water, historical, cultural, and natural resources; and provide recreation opportunities that are designed to enhance the County’s quality of life”. LIFE Report The LIFE Report is a joint effort of Marathon County and the United Way and is produced every two years. The purpose of the report is to acknowledge community strengths, identify community challenges, and serve as a catalyst for change by advancing community conversations and partnerships around the Calls for Action. This report covers a wide range of topics and specifically addresses the impact tourism has had in Marathon County. Wisconsin Land Legacy Report The Wisconsin Land Legacy Report was created by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
