About us
PLEASE READ FULL DESCRIPTION! Northern Paddle and Trail (NPT) began in Rhinelander, WI about 25 years ago by a small group of outdoor enthusiasts. It was created to provide a variety of silent sports outings. Members enjoy the beauty of our lakes, rivers and forests where we get fresh air and exercise while visiting with like-minded souls. Our get-togethers include hiking, kayaking, canoeing, biking, XC skiing, snowshoeing, ice shuffleboard, camping, and annual potlucks, plus occasional game nights at a local pub.
For all Meetup members that have not officially joined NPT, we invite you to go to our home website, click on "membership" and consider joining NPT for the low fee of $10/yr. You will then be included in our Group Email List to get notices of our events. If you do not want to join NPT at this time, remember you can go to the website's calendar anytime and see what we are up to and join anytime. Plus the home website has many pictures from past adventures.
Hope to see you on the trails or on the water!

Hike to LaSalle Falls
LaSalle Falls Trailhead, 2733 LaSalle Falls Access Rd., Florence, WI, USSpring in Wisconsin is the best time to visit the state's many waterfalls with all the meltwater coming off the landscape. So now is the prime time to go!! This event will take us to the Pine River in Florence County with a one mile hike into LaSalle Falls and a visit to the Wild Rivers Interpretive Center in Florence, Wisconsin.
Hike to LaSalle Falls on the Pine River & visit the Wild Rivers Interpretive Center, Friday, May 15th, 10:30 am- 3:30, Meet at LaSalle Falls trailhead
To learn more about LaSalle Falls (photos and video) and the Wild Rivers Interpretive Center google search LaSalle Falls Florence County and also the Wild Rivers Interpretive Center Florence, Wi. We will meet at the trailhead at 10:30 am and hike the 1 mile established trail to the falls. One time I was there I sat below the falls and watched trout jumping trying to work their way up stream. People kayak LaSalle Falls and you have to wonder how they come out at the bottom still in their boat. After checking out the falls we can head up to Florence about 10 miles and visit the Wild Rivers Interpretive Center. Here you will learn about the initiative to protect these three wild rivers. Pine, Popple and the Pike, and why they are called the original wild rivers. Things to bring may include: camera, appropriate footwear and clothing, bug spray, snacks/lunch and water. Some of the roads to get to the trailhead (2.4 miles) are gravel/sand but drivable at slower speeds. Hope you can make it to this unique NPT event. - J
