Trout Lake History Pontoon

Trout Lake stands out as one of the most unique Northwoods lakes with an amazing history. Join historian Jim Bokern and naturalist Jenna Richardson on a pontoon tour that will explore cultural and natural destinations.  Trout Lake’s size, depth and ecologies support unique fisheries, while large tracts of state land maintain a wild landscape.  Historically, Trout Lake Indigenous communities, State Forestry Headquarter, Trout Lake Station for Limnology, and early resorts are a few of our destinations.

An email will be sent to registered participants with directions to the launch site and items to bring prior to the trip. Pit-toilet style restrooms will be available at the launch site.  Registration is required by 9/7/26. This pontoon tour is generously sponsored by the Boulder Junction Community Foundation.  This tour takes place on Wednesday, 9/9/2026, 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM.

In the event of inclement weather:  If there is light rain predicted during the tour, we will most likely conduct the tour.  However, if thunderstorms/torrential rain is forecasted on the date/time of the tour, we will call you on the phone number you provided at registration no later than 8:00 AM.
