Join us in the summer for Whitewater Rafting on the exciting Peshtigo or Menominee Rivers. The section of the Peshtigo River we use is the Roaring Rapids, the longest continuous stretch of rapids in the midwest. These are Class III rapids in the summer, but come for the spring snow run-off in April and May when they reach the level of Class IV rapids.

Go rafting in our multi-person rafts, single person Thrill Cats or a Fun Yak. We also offer whitewater rafting at Piers Gorge on the Menominee River, just south of Iron Mountain, MI. Here you will experience Class IV rapids, some of the largest volume rapids in the Midwest. Ride these challenging rapids in our 10 person self-bailing raft.

We have Lazy River Tubing for those who just want to take a gentle ride down the river.

Take an exciting ride through the Northwoods on one of our ATV Trail Tours with our experienced guides. The Dun-Good Wilderness Trail is only three miles from Wildman Ranch and the we have direct access to the Iron Snowshoe Trail System for great riding. We offer half day and full day tours through the back country with stops for lunch. We have ATV Rentals and 2 person machines so the whole family can join the fun.

Have fun with the Alpine Climbing Tower Ropes Course, head into the woods on the 2 miles of hiking trails, or go mountain biking in the nearby Nicolet Forest on their excellent trail system.

Enjoy camping on the banks of the Peshtigo River. Our campground has a modern shower room and log camping cabins, bunkhouse style, that sleep up to 5. Campsites have fire pits and a picnic table.
