Beaches & Parks

Parks are an essential feature of vacation destinations, especially for families with non-stop, action-seeking children. Couple the amenities – swing sets, grills, picnic tables, restrooms – with a sand beach and you have all the essential ingredients for a wonderful day outside.

Manitowish Waters has four outstanding town parks that offer a wide variety of activities for all ages. Three are easily accessible by either land or water, and the fourth is conveniently located at the Community Center. More about the parks can be found at the town’s website, mwtown.org, or by calling the Town office at 715-543-8400.
