The park has good parking, clean restrooms and quite a few choices for activities: beach walking, rock hunting, learning a bit of history and taking photos. Close to the Main Street, there are also nice eateries and a purportedly haunted hotel. We love these building with a history and plan to return for an overnight stay at the Karsten Hotel.

The coolest building in Manitowoc, stately marble construction and built in 1906 in the Beaux-Arts…read morestyle of architecture. You can see the impressive dome from nearly everywhere in downtown Manitowoc. The inside is occupied by various county offices. The interior of the building is stone, wood and impressive. The dome is impressive. My one complaint as a Civil War buff is Manitowoc's Civil War Memorial on the NE side. While Two Rivers has a grand statue of a Union soldier in bronze, Manitowoc has a rock. whether you go here for county business or to just look around, This is a place to take minute and absorb the absolute grandeur that this classic building emits. Right across the street from the Courthouse Pub.

This is one of my favorite walks. Standing in front of the lighthouse, which is now a museum, I…read moreenjoy a piece of local history. It is accessible on most days. I wouldn't recommend walking on the breakwater when it is windy or you'll get soaked or washed off into the lake. In winter it gets icy.

I guess the days of going to the library and having peace and quiet as you read and/or study are…read moreover. Literally every time I go to this library someone is talking loud on their phone or people are having loud conversations. The last time I went a guy was talking loud on his phone for over a half hour. If this wasn't bad enough, he was spuing his foul mouth right near to where children were playing in the children's area. The worst part is that the staff rarely ever does anything about it.

Great library for a small town! Not just books, but DVDs (Blu-Ray disks), computer workstations,…read moreand many other resources. Very friendly and helpful staff. This library is part of the Manitowoc library system, so you can return items borrowed here in Manitowoc (and vice versa). One minor irritant is that you start getting automated calls reminding you that your item is due about one week before it is actually due.

This is a nice library. They have a large children's section on the upper level. They have ample…read morecomputer stations. The WI FI away from the computer stations is spotty.

I enjoy books on native cultures and history. Here, I have a myriads of options to entertain my brain's constant quest for information. The staff here is very nice and eager to help.

Just make sure you have your free library card with you. BTW, there are no water features around the Manitowoc Library.
