CANCELED due to weather - Mercer Historical and Naturalist Bike Tour

This program has been canceled due to weather. 

Come along on a guided historical and naturalist bike ride through the towns of Manitowish and Mercer! Jim Bokern of the Manitowish Waters Historical Society and Hannah Gargrave, NLDC Naturalist, will lead you along the paved bike trail and discuss some interesting history and natural history of the area that includes moonshining, river ecology, logging and railroad days, Native American portages, unique habitats that moose call home, and much more! We'll visit businesses in Mercer and learn about their past and present. We'll be renting e-bikes from River's Edge Adventure Company, and cost of rental is included in registration. Helmets are included with rental. The trip is about 15 miles total on a mostly flat, paved trail with electric-assist bikes. We may occasionally bike on gravel roads for short distances. 

Bring water and comfortable biking footwear and clothing, and cash for ice cream. Bathrooms are available at beginning and the end of the route. Participants will meet at River's Edge Adventure Company to be fitted with an e-bike and helmet, and will be shuttled back to their vehicles at the end.  Registration is required by 8/24/24.  $95/Members (NLDC or MWHS) and $110/Non-Members.  Tuesday 12:30 PM - 5:00 PM.
