| Hurley,
Wisconsin truly is a vacationer's paradise, and offers a great variety of year
round entertainment. In the Winter, the snowmobiler can enjoy 450 miles of beautifully
groomed scenic trails. Hurley was designated one of the "Top 25" snowmobiling
vacation areas in North America, and a five-time winner of Snowgoer Magazine's
"#1 Nightlife" award. Top all this off with a fifteen minute drive to any one
of five major ski hills, or miles of groomed cross-country ski trails, and the
visitor can have the ultimate winter sport experience. For history buffs,
a visit to Iron County Historical Museum is a must. Here the visitor will gain
insight into Hurley's colorful past and see what made Hurley one of the most famous
mining and logging towns of all time and earned the area one of Wisconsin's most
recent designations as a state "Heritage Tourism" area. Visitors also have the
opportunity to take part in Hurley's "Living History Walking Tour", offered periodically
throughout the spring and summer months, featuring a costumed cast of characters
performing a variety of skits depicting logging, mining, and railroad history,
as well as some of the more colorful aspects of Hurley's heritage, concluding
with a fun-filled burlesque show. Summer visitors can enjoy great deep sea
fishing aboard one of the many charter boats operating out of nearby Saxon Harbor
on Lake Superior, or fish a smaller "pond", the popular Gile Flowage, famous for
great walleye fishing. Great hiking trails lead to more than a dozen spectacular
waterfalls throughout Iron County, and ATV and mountain biking enthusiasts can
enjoy over 100 miles of wilderness trails. The golfer can enjoy 18 holes of championship
golf on the panoramic Eagle Bluff Golf Course. |
