But when you want to explore, just follow the trail down to the Oconto River for a blissful kayaking or paddle boarding at White Water Sports Rentals.

Hike along the river, eventually coming to a swimming hole with a sandy bottom and a natural 70-foot slippery slide that the kiddos are bound to love! For fishing, wakeboarding, or water skiing, check out one of the numerous lakes within a short distance of the home.
