The port city of Manitowoc Wis. draws thousands of visitors each year as a landmark city for famous shipwrecks, naval vessels and spectacular shore views. When planning a weekend in Northeast Wisconsin this summer, this maritime community is one stop that should not be missed.
A city of 34,000-plus, Manitowoc is boasts entertainment, activities, festivals and attractions that are unique to coastline communities.
A must for the family visit is touring the World War II submarine U.S.S. Cobia located at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum. With over 60,000 square feet of interactive exhibits in the museum, you’ll be submerged into a nautical adventure of Wisconsin’s waterways and ships.
Another behemoth of an attraction in Manitowoc is the S.S. Badger Lake Michigan car ferry. This authentic steamship transports cars, motorcycles, bicycles, tour buses, RVs, commercial trucks and general passengers 60 miles across Lake Michigan to the shores of Ludington, Mich. from mid-May through mid-October. The ship was built and launched in 1952 and today it makes about 490 crossing each year, carrying up to 620 passengers and 180 vehicles each way. Passengers find more than enough to do to pass the time with a movie theater, live entertainment, video arcade, lounges and beautiful deck-side views.
Like any city, Manitowoc has much more to offer than just the well-known. The shopping in the historic downtown is great for those that prefer solid ground and the eighteen holes of Fox Hills Resort challenge even the best golfers. No matter what you want to do in Manitowoc this summer, check out the discounted gift certificates from RTownShopper before setting sail.

One of Northeast Wisconsin’s outdoor gems is the WIOUWASH State Trail. Formerly a path of railroad ties and steel tracks, it has been transformed into a booming recreational trail named after the four Northeast Wisconsin counties it connects – Winnebago, Outagamie, Waupaca and Shawano.
The rural path runs through state wildlife areas, traverses tall grass prairies and crosses over multiple rivers. It is completely free to use and is popular for hiking, biking, and snowshoeing as well as horseback riding in the summer and snowmobiling in the winter.
The trail is separated into two sections and is just over 45 miles in total length with numerous places for visitors to park the car and jump on. The first section extends 22 miles from Oshkosh to Hortonville, passing by Neenah and Appleton. The south trailhead of this section starts near downtown Oshkosh where trail-goers can meet outside of the local boutiques, restaurants and salons to plan their adventure.
The second section takes WIOUWASH visitors from Aniwa to Split Rock and intersects the Mountain-Bay Trail which starts in Green Bay and moves west to Wausau. This 23-mile section crosses Shawano county and the communities Birnamwood, Eland, Wittenberg and Tigerton. The trail doesn’t stray far from State Highway 45 making it simple to get there and back.
When a break is needed from the hustle and bustle of the big city, a day trip on the quiet and picturesque WIOUWASH trail is a perfect fit. The nearly 50 miles of gravel path is always minutes from a place to rest or lodge and a restaurant to eat at, and RTownShopper has discounted gift certificates to keep it well under budget.
