In l955, the village name was changed once again. Reflecting the The advent of the logging era brought wisdom and farsightedness of early development in the early 1900’s. In French missionary priests, we finally 1905, Presque Isle was known as became... Fosterville, after one J.J. Foster who built and operated a large saw mill. “Presque Isle” – Almost an Island. William S. Winegar bought the mill in A visit to the Heritage Society 1910 and the fledgling community Museum in downtown Presque Isle will was renamed “Winegar.” take you back to these simpler times. 2 www.presqueisle.com Our History Now… Pipke Park is a true Presque Isle gem. It is rich in history and wildlife, and boasts excellent year-round recreation. The park includes two ponds with a level walking trail; and the neighboring woods feature a 2.8 mile trail ideal for hiking and snowshoeing. In winter, the southern lake provides a warming hut and sledding hill, and a well-maintained ice rink to enjoy at your leisure - day or night! The lighted rink is freely available for visitors and you can host parties here, too - simply check with the town office. In the early 1900s, the Vilas County Lumber Co. was built on the edge of the ponds, utilizing the water as “hot ponds.” Exhaust steam from the mill kept the water thawed all winter. Logs were piled in and transported via the railway which made its way past the ponds and into town to a railway turntable. In 1933, the lumber mill closed. By 1950, a new vision emerged. The ponds were then used as rearing ponds for raising Walleye. The project proved highly successful, eventually developing into the largest walleye rearing operation in the State. By the 90’s, the State no longer had funding to continue, and the surrounding land was deeded back to the Town to later become Pipke Park. 715-686-2910 3 A Season of Snow, Superb Powder, a ADVENTURES & ATTRACTIONS • Ski or Snowboard on one of the Midwest’s Photo courtesy of Bruce Nelson Premier Downhill Ski Destinations (just 30 miles north) • Snowmobile hundreds of miles… • Snowshoe the Pipke Park Wilderness Trails • Set a Tip-Up and catch your dinner • Cozy up with a Hot Toddie • Head indoors and try your luck at the Lake of the Torches or Northern Waters Casino OLDE TIME COMMUNITY Christmas Celebration Fri., DECEMBER 13 Enjoy a horse-drawn sleigh ride along our snow-covered lake paths, complete with caroling and clear views of the night sky.

The action has concerned the magni ficent woodlands of the redman, the rapid depletion of those forests in the last century, and their slow but sure rebuilding in the present. The elusive "northwest passage" to China, Indian furs and Indian souls, iron and land and copper brought the white men to Michigan. In 1621, only 1 year after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, young Etienne Brule, protege of Champlain, reached Lake Superior and was disappointed to find its waters fresh. Thirteen years later, Jean Nicolet, another protege of the French governor of Canada, entered the unknown Lake Michigan through the Straits of Mackinac. Though he never found the longed-for route to the Orient, Nicolet did initiate the French fur trade with the Indians in this territory. Heroic followers of Brule and Nicolet were the Jesuit fathers Jogues and Raymbault, who preached to the Ojibwas in 1641 at Sault Ste.

Additionally, some streams located in smaller western Lake Superior coastal watersheds were surveyed (Figure 1). The goals of this monitoring were to: (1) assess the current status and condition of individual water bodies and determine whether Michigan Water Quality Standards (WQS) are being met; (2) evaluate biological integrity temporal trends; (3) satisfy monitoring requests submitted by external and internal customers; and (4) identify potential nonpoint source (NPS) pollution problems. These surveys qualitatively characterized the biotic integrity of macroinvertebrate communities with respect to existing habitat conditions at randomly selected sites throughout the OPBM watersheds region. The results of the surveys are used by the SWAS’s Status and Trends Program to estimate the amount of these watersheds that is supporting the other indigenous aquatic life and wildlife designated use component of R 323.1100(1)(e) of the Part 4 rules, WQS, promulgated under Part 31, Water Resources Protection, of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended.

The mission of the program is as follows: o To strengthen the Fish and Wildlife Service in its role as a primary source of information on national fish and wild- life resources, particularly in respect to environmental impact assessment. o To gather, analyze, and present information that will aid decisionmakers in the identification and resolution of problems associated with major changes in land and water use. o To provide better ecological information and evaluation for Department of the Interior development programs, such as those relatfng to energy development. Information developed by the Biological Services Program is intended for use in the planning and decisionmaking process to prevent or minimize the impact of development on fish and wildlife. Research activities and technlcal assistance services are based on an analysis of the issues, a determination of the decisionmakers involved and their informatlon needs, and an evaluation of the state of the art to identify information gaps and to determine priorities. This is a strategy that will ensure that the products produced and disseminated are timely and useful.

A permit from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality is required for dredging, filling, grading, other alterations of the soil, alterations of the natural drainage, alteration of vegetation used by fish or wildlife, or both, including timber harvest in identified colonial bird nesting areas and the placement of permanent structures in EAs. Activities which do not require a permit include maintenance of existing dikes, and timber harvest if outside a colonial bird nesting area. 6. Commercial timber management will not occur within EAs. Guidelines: 1. Where significant disruption to ecological processes has occurred, take corrective action to restore natural processes. 2. Implement programs to eradicate invasive plants and animals in CEAs, which can cause severe disruption of coastal wetland ecology. 3. Design recreational facilities for low-impact use and blend them with the natural character of the shoreline. 4.

With indoor activities closed or canceled due to COVID-19, many people chose to get outside. In addition to the regular local visitors and returning visitors from outside the area, we had an influx of first timers which meant our attendance hit a record high at nearly 600,000. We welcomed both first-time campers and backpackers. With so many people in the park, including many who were inexperienced, we also experienced a record number of lost and injured hikers. In 2020, Porkies rangers responded to 52 rescues or emergencies. Historically, this number typically ranges between 6 and 18 per year. As the name implies, wilderness is inherently “wild.” Trails can be steep and slippery. Weather can change quickly, accidents happen and nobody is to blame. Overexertion, lower-leg injuries and a Park Rangers training with the rescue litter at the Lake of the Clouds. lack of pre-trip planning were among the primary causes for the record rescues.
