This summer, we are excited to be increasing our support
for silent sports in the Northwoods! Silent
sports are outdoor recreation activities that rely solely on
self-propulsion. These activities span
all seasons and include hiking, running, canoeing, kayaking, mountain biking,
road biking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and multisport events (like our
Just
Tri It! triathlon).
Silent sports have been gaining popularity in recent
years among outdoor enthusiasts of all ages and ability levels. Participants are committed to healthy living
and a healthy environment. They seek out
intimate experiences with nature, yet are eager to share their passions with
others. Throughout the Midwest, silent
sport communities have come together to explore and appreciate nature together.
The Manitowish Waters community has extraordinary silent
sport resources for year-round enjoyment.
To encourage Northwoods residents and visitors to explore our area in
new ways, we will be creating an inventory of local silent sport resources, establishing
a new destination of our own, and leading a variety of silent sport activities
throughout the summer. Keep your eye
out for future silent sport updates!
