WE Energies Wilderness Shores Recreation Area #34

Florence, Wisconsin

About

Wilderness Shores recreation areas are 23,000 acres in northern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where visitors can enjoy a variety of outdoor experiences. For bird-watchers, the area is home to numerous species. In season, hunters are welcome to pursue their favorite game. Whitetail deer, ruffed grouse, waterfowl and small game animals abound. In winter, ice fishing and cross-country skiing await visitors. Parking and launching facilities are available at nearly all areas. Portages around hydroelectric plants are marked on a map, but canoeists are advised to exercise caution around these portages and any unmarked rapids that may occur on some stretches of water. The Menominee Canoe Trail map is available from the Florence Natural Resource Center, 715-696-6262. Wilderness Shores has more than 30 semi-primitive recreation areas developed near our 12 hydroelectric plants. If you don't want to rough it, cabins, resorts and motels are not far away. Bring all your camping needs with you – including your drinking water. Supplies can be obtained at nearby communities. A well-stocked first-aid kit is recommended, since some areas are miles from the nearest doctor. Self-contained toilets are provided at most areas.
