Nestled about an hour outside of Milwaukee, Horicon is one solid place to walk around and take in the views. Horicon is a massive watershed and houses a seriously spread out marsh of water that spreads for 22,000 acres! The Wisconsin DNR manages what is labeled as a National Park Service. The hike in from the visitor's center takes you through two loops approximately 4.25 miles total depending on what sections are open. You'll see freshwater cattail marsh, geese everywhere, great blue herons and so much other wildlife. We even saw a deer when we were back on the Quick's Point trail. What we loved about Horicon was how open it is. That is until you get back to the secondary trail. Then your off in the woods which makes for a very surreal feeling. I can see every bit of why this area is so special and on the National Park Service list. It is amazing to see! If you live in the area or are coming out of town Horicon is worth a visit. Our dog enjoyed every bit of the hike!

The drive through the northern tip has well-dispersed pull-offs with nice descriptions of the types of wildlife potentially visible in that area, and a one- to two-mile loop walk at the tip of the drive. We almost gave up on seeing or identifying any birds.... and then we hit the marshes on the way out. We found egrets, herons, geese, and cranes as willing subjects in a beautiful sunset setting. I've uploaded a few of the shots I took that evening, and I'm sure I'll be headed back to see what else I can see.

When I was there, some windsurfers were using it as a staging area. It seemed perfectly suited for that purpose. The view of the lake is definitely the highlight, and there are some benches on which to enjoy it. Otherwise it seems like a good spot to enjoy one's lunch or a take out dinner.

Other courses typically make you split up but we had the luxury of booking two tee times and not having issues going as a large group. Very open course so it is forgiving but still has some difficult holes. Course does move quickly because it is a more dry terrain in general. Some really cool uphill and downhill holes with beautiful landscape. We didn't stay for food or drinks afterwards but it was a nice club house and nothing seemed to be overpriced. All drinks from what I saw on the bev cart were $5 which I think is a steal compared to other courses. No complaints there and they didn't skimp on mixed drinks. As a group of 5 Chicago guys, we had no issues getting along with everyone on the course and employees, which isn't always the case going to various out of state locations. We were treated as though we were locals which was nice

Great baseball stadium for Dock Spiders baseballread more

I've attended games at several Northwoods League stadiums and this one was the worst. First, the…read morekid at the ticket booth didn't say one word to us during the transaction. We had vouchers for tickets. We walked up and handed them to him through the window. He proceeded to print us tickets and hand them to us. No "welcome". No "where would you like to sit". No "thank you" or enjoy the game". Alright, no big deal. Next we head to the gate where we went through a "TSA" style bag check. We bring a backpack with sweatshirts, sunscreen, can koozies, etc... Our daughter also has a small backpack with coloring books and things to keep her occupied when she gets tired of watching the game. Both bags were emptied item by item on the table and inspected. During this intrusive search they found some Skittles and Starburst that they said either had to be thrown away or taken back to the car but they wouldn't let them in the park. No other park we have been to has this type of search, especially when it appears their main objective is to prevent outside food from coming into the park. Next, we TRY to find our seats. The layout of the seating is very confusing. We had to go under a set of grandstands to a set of stairs that took us to another section that our section was located behind. Turns out our "seats" were just general admission picnic tables on the roof of a building located down the third baseline. There are two rows of tables. We were lucky enough to snag a table in the front row because our sightlines weren't all that great. I can't imagine anyone sitting in the second row could see much of the field. There were only three of us so another group ended up sharing the table with us. Unfortunately this group had no interest in the game whatsoever and talked the entire game which was distracting and made it impossible to hear the stadium announcer. Which brings up the next point; the sound system was awful! There are 2 speakers, one on either side of the "press box", for the entire stadium (at least what I could see). I know there were no speakers anywhere near our seats. So, we decided to go get food. The lines were HUGE at both tiny concession stands they have. It took 2 innings to get up to the counter (we're now in the fifth inning) and we're told from their entire menu all they have left is hot dogs and nachos. No pizza. No cheese/hamburgers. No brats. Okay, we'll take three hot dogs and an order of nachos. I also ordered my first beer of the night. We returned to our table and ate. Hot dogs were cold. Nachos were good. Beer was amazing as I really needed one at this point. :) Then we decided to go to the kids' area. Total mud pit! It had rained quite a bit the day prior so everything was pure mud. There's a large grassy area just to the right they could have moved the inflatables to but they chose to keep them right in the center of the mud. I did like that they had a wristband for "all you can play" for $2. That was a welcome surprise as most places charge $1-$2 per activity. Here's the best part. They had three inflatables (bounce house, fast pitch game and an arch you walk under to enter the area) all plugged in to one outlet with extension cords running all over the place. At one point either someone tripped on a cord or the GFCI tripped causing the bounce house to deflate while the kids were in there. The operator finally figured out the problem after about two minutes and was able to get it working again. After we were done in the kids' area we headed back to our seats. On the way I stopped to order another beer. Apparently they stop selling beer after the seventh inning. I questioned this and I received attitude from another worker who appeared to be a manager. I was told "That's standard in ballparks" or something similar. Come on! This isn't Miller Park! Outside of MLB ballparks, I had never experienced this. There were no signs posted. I couldn't tell you if an announcement was made since the sound system is so poor. Also, considering the line was 20+ minutes at the beginning of the game, you'd think they would extend sales. Maybe there's a city ordinance or something. Who knows! Just be aware if you plan on enjoying a few adult beverages here. The game itself was really good which is to be expected in the league. Game was exciting as it came down to the ninth inning where the Dock Spiders won it. I know I sound like a grump that is always unhappy but I promise you that is not the case. As I mentioned earlier, I've been to several stadiums and LOVED them. We always have a great time. This stadium (and organization) just didn't do it for me. I really hope others have a better experience as I want the league to be successful. From my visit I would suggest some major improvements if this team wants return guests because I can tell you from my experience on our first visit, this stadium won't be in our rounds in the future.
