Built maybe 2-3 years ago, it's a wooden boardwalk that starts at Lincoln Park and goes down to the Paint River. On summer nights, you can see an acoustic concert with local musicians like Whitewater, using the beauty of the river and the bridge as a scenic backdrop. There's no railing along the platform overlooking the river, so you get an unbroken view of everything. Just don't lean over too far, or you will join the lily pads and fish down below. The boardwalk veers to the right and goes for maybe what amounts to a city block. Walk slowly, take your time and you'll see native wildflowers, beautiful thistles, wild apple trees and a few wild raspberry bushes maybe. And if you're lucky, maybe you'll even get to see a deer up-close like we did one time. The boardwalk's design is elegant and well-thought out, merging nicely with the nature surrounding it rather than intruding upon it. If you stop to visit Crystal Falls for a few hours, I'd definitely recommend seeing this stop along the journey.

The view was definitely worth the trip! Directions from the previous review are spot on. After you…read moreturn on Knowles Creek Rd from CTH F follow that until you see the lake on your right. Immediately after the lake you will see a little driveway on your left that leads to a campsite. After that you are looking for the 3rd road on the left(road number 2781. It is marked with a small vertical wooden sign that is somewhat hidden by weeds but pretty easy to spot). I'm not sure the exact distance, but it was a few minute drive past the campsite till you reach the 3rd road on the left. Take a left on road 2781 and follow it until you come to a fork in the road where road number 2349B splits off to the right(there is a large mud hole at the start of this trail). At this point you will need to abandon your vehicle and begin hiking. Hike down the road 2349B until you come to another fork in the roadway. When you reach this fork take the trail that goes up hill (this trail goes off to the left and has a few broken off trees at the start of it). From there its a short hike up hill until you reach one of the most beautiful views in the northwoods! The total hike round trip is right around 2 miles. Shoes that can get muddy and bug spray are also definitely a must for this hike! I made the driving portion of this trip in my all wheel drive BMW X1. It made the trip ok, however driving down road 2781 was a bit of a nail biter as there are some bigger stones in the roadway and a few larger mud holes that a 2 wheel drive vehicle may not have made it through. That being said road 2781 is definitely definitely more of an offload trail with 2 tire tracks that you drive on and no place to turn around until you get to the fork for road 2349B. I would recommend a 4 wheel drive truck or suv for this journey, or just parking on the side of Knowles Creek Rd and hiking from there. Doing this would only about another mile to the hike. Also you may be able to drive down road 2349B if you have a Wrangler or similar vehicle. I also recommend stopping at the lake you pass on Knowles Creek Rd and getting some beautiful pictures! There is a small campsite that you can turn off into if it isn't occupied and spend a little time taking in the beauty of the lake.

Hopefully this review will lead you right to the site and save you all the hours of endless exploration, but this is mostly serving as a note-to-self...to help me find this place in the future :-) Soooo starting from downtown Lakewood, WI: Head north on F until you hit Knowles Creek Rd, turn left. Continue on Knowles Creek until there comes a fork in the road. At the fork, follow Knowles Creek to the left and do NOT continue straight/right-ish onto McCaslin Tower Rd. Continue on Knowles Creek, where you should see a sort of lake on the right and then a campsite further down on the left. After these two "markers", look for the 2nd trail on the left with one of those mini-snowmobile stop signs. The correct trail should be numbered 2781. Follow this trail (in the car is still fine, but watch for huge puddles/deep mud) until you can literally drive no further. You should then see a sort of pathway at the end on the left that is somewhat upward sloping at first. At this point, abandon your vehicle and begin walking up the clearing (there is typically a puddle or mud of some sort at the start of this path). Walk for a bit (1/2 mile?) and keep your eyes out for an uphill path on the left side of where you are walking (in my experience, there has been a partially fallen tree trunk marking the base of this hill). Follow the path up this hillside to the top, at which point, you have reached The Big Rock! The total walking time is minimal and, round-trip, clocks in at around 2 miles. You'll know when you've reached your destination because the view is breathtaking! Now supposedly, this is a geocaching site (I have included the URL in my creation of this business listing), so there are instructions and coordinates on how to reach the place on that as well. In my two trips to The Big Rock, I have yet to discover where the cache is located...we searched for quite a while on both occasions and were unable to find the box. So good luck to all future enthusiasts with that endeavor; as for me, I'll be lounging on that huge rock over there enjoying the view :)

The staff is amazingly accommodating and make you feel right at home. My small group of 3 had an appointment, and a longer than expected breakfast. The staff was super friendly and very easy going. The trip is an easy 2+ hour and my only though is it could be longer. The place seems to be located somewhere in the middle of the path. So it is not the type where you start off, or end up by where you are tubing, you get driven and then picked up. They have a pro shop which has basics things that you may have forgotten if it is an impromptu tube trip. We lucked out on a party cloudy Saturday with80 degrees. They also have canoeing and even paddle board yoga. The tubes have a little head rest which is nice when laying belly up. The tubes also have connectors so they can tie up nice and easily. They have 2 can holders for your beverages. As with all river trips, no glass. I would also suggest pony up for the extra cooler tube it really rounds out the experience.

It's a good hike up in cheese land and I was only expecting maybe a class 2 or 3 (class 6 being the highest). Big surprise when we did a class 4. Sounds scary I know, but I learned that picking the right guide/ tour company is key. It makes a difference when it comes to safety and your overall experience. NA is all about having fun but being safe. The owner and our guide Matt was hilarious but also made sure that we knew what we were doing to keep us far away from any injury's. And like he said you really get to know the people in your raft because at some point you will be on top of them. There actually isn't a whole lot of rowing and the intense portions go by in a flash but at least with the help of a hiking trail and another boat you end up doing the intense parts twice. Other then that you are shooting the shit with Matt and the others in your group. Matt has a wealth of knowledge about the area and about "adventure" type stuff. I think it was the perfect combo of relaxing and heart racing experience. I would tell you more but to be honest this is really something you should experience for yourself. I will say that we all had a blast and not one of us ended up in the water... well, at least not from the rapids. I would totally do this again!! ** You're not actually allowed to pee in or out of the boat. Matt will ask you if you would like for him to come to your work and pee on your desk or something, no, then don't pee at his place of work.
