Friday evening from 4:30 to 7:30, the Forest Lake Country Store will host a traditional "Wisconsin Shore Lunch Fish Fry". Bring your family and friends and enjoy a fish fry in the fresh outdoor air of the Northwoods.
Saturday's events will begin with a choice of two bike rides, available to provide riders an option based on their biking experience.
A 12-mile ride beginning at 11 a.m., led by Dick Leinenkugel, will be along rustic roads and showcases the 3.2-mile section of the bike trail which was completed in 2012.
A 38-mile ride around the Sylvania Wilderness Area passes through the towns of Watersmeet and Land O' Lakes utilizing paved roads and trails. An optional trail will route riders along the newly completed Agonikak Trail. The Agonikak Trail is not recommended for road bikes. This ride will begin at 9 a.m.
Both rides will begin and end at the Forest Lake Country Store, located at 6256 County B (corner of County B and Forest Lake Road). Additionally, experience two of the Northwoods most exciting new outdoor adventures - paddle boarding and quadracycling. Mel's Trading Post will have staff on hand to offer stand-up paddle board demonstrations and provide tips on boards, paddles and equipment. Sylvania Outfitters will offer rides on one and two seat Quadracycles specially made for our Northwoods trails. Quadracycles are more stable than conventional or 3-wheel bikes and have 21 independent speeds.
Following the rides, there will be a Leinenkugel beer tasting and brat lunch beginning at noon. Alternate beverages and hot dogs will also be available.
For a $35 registration fee participants can enjoy an activity filled day at the Forest Lake Country Store - bike ride, paddle board, quadracycle, Leinenkugel beer tastings, brat lunch and a chance to win some great prizes, including two Trek bicycles and a Surftech stand-up paddle board. All of the rides are self-guided and each rider is required to wear an ANSI- approved helmet. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
