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!

Snowshoe at Nose Lake Trail
Nose Lake Trail, 2586 Hancock Oneida Lake Rd., Rhinelander, WI, USHello fellow snowshoers - Just letting you know that there is a planned NPT snowshoe on the Nose Lake Snowshoeing Trail on Sunday, March 8 at 1:00 p.m., Meet at the parking lot. This is a dog friendly trail so plan on bringing your best friend. The terrain is not very steep, so the 2.3 miles through the northern hardwood forest is a relatively relaxing snowshoe. After parking in the parking lot, the snowshoe trail is across the road. The weather forecast for the first part of March seems to be warming up, so we will need to check on the trail conditions as we get closer to the event date.
Hope to see you there. - JA donation of $5.00 per event is requested for non-NPT members which can be paid at the event. Membership for NPT is $10.00/year. To become a NPT member go to northernpaddleandtrail.org and click in the upper righthand corner and find membership.

NPT Book Club
Rhinelander District Library, 106 N. Stevens St., Rhinelander, WI, USThe NPT Book Club monthly meeting will be Monday, March 9th at the Rhinelander District Library from 11:30 am - 12:30 pm. in the lower level conference room. All NPT members are invited to attend any of the monthly meetings. The major theme of the books that are selected are based on some aspect of nature. You're welcome to join in at any time, or just sit in and listen to our lively discussions. Our next read in March is Wild by Cheryl Strayed. The 22 year old author tells of her eleven-hundred mile solo hike along the Pacific Crest Trail traversing California and Oregon. The author vividly captures the terrors and pleasures of one young woman forging ahead against all odds on a journey that would challenge the best of us in NPT. The library has copies reserved under NPT Book Club and can be picked up at the reference desk.
We hope to see you there.

Game Night at Rhinelander Brewing Company
Rhinelander Brewing Company, 43 S Brown St, Rhinelander, WI, USHi Everyone - Northern Paddle & Trail will be hosting our third ever Game Night, Tuesday, March 17, at Rhinelander Brewing Company from 5:30-7:30 p.m. So what is a Game Night? It's an opportunity to get together with other NPT members and quests to socialize over a beer/root beer and play board and card games. Also, it's a good excuse to get out of the house during these winter months . The Rhinelander Brewing Co.'s atmosphere of picnic tables, free popcorn and a large collection of beer choices makes this an inviting place to have our Game Night event. And by the way, they make their own root beer which is very good. They do not serve food, but I was informed that they do have frozen pizza. You can bring your own food to the event if you like, or pick something up and bring it with you. If you have a favorite board game or a card game bring it with you. Uno, Yahtzee and Golf are always favorites. Rhinelander Brewing Co. is located at 43S Brown Street in downtown Rhinelander. Same street as the Mel's Sporting Goods store. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Hope to see you at this low level competitive event. - J
