01Good to know
Fact 01
Why the Island City
Downtown sits on an island in Lake Minocqua, joined to the mainland only by a bridge, a trestle and a narrow strip of land.
Fact 02
Rails to trails
The railroad reached Minocqua in the late 1880s to haul out timber. Its old trestles onto the island still stand as part of the Bearskin State Trail.
Fact 03
A resort town
When the logging ended, trains brought anglers and families instead. By the 1920s dozens of resorts had opened around the lakes.
