Beyond the Canoe: Outdoor Recreation on the North Shore
From May to November, canoeing is the talk of the North Shore and the Boundary Waters area. Rightfully so, as the region is in the heart of canoe country.
However, the opportunities for outdoor recreation in Cook County and the Lake Superior region are ample. With that in mind, WTIP is launching a new series to explore some of these forms to enjoy the outdoors that extend past the gunnels of a canoe.

Beyond the Canoe: Ice Skating
-The opportunities for outdoor recreation that don’t involve canoeing in Cook County and the Lake Superior region are ample. With that in mind, WTIP is launching a new series to explore some of these forms to enjoy the outdoors that extend past the gunnels.
