Memorial Day Weekend updates

As we head into Memorial Day Weekend, we've got plenty to be thankful for. Veterans have fought over 200 years to defend this country and its freedoms and that we are most thankful for. On Sunday at Veteran's Park in St Germain there will be a service at 3pm to honor those who have served our great country and we urge you to attend.

Just south of the hotel along the highline, a newly paved trail has just been constructed for hiking and biking. It's a beautiful site and will give folks an wonderful opportunity to explore the northwoods right from our doors. The new 4 mile eastern leg of the trail connects at the St Germain Info Bureau then onto the existing paved route west along Highway 70 and north on Hwy C to SAyner and beyond... all the way to Boulder Junction and on to Arbor Vitae!

The new path can be used now and is slated for completion no later than June 30.
