Day One:
8:00am—Breakfast at one of Tomahawk’s great restaurants.

11:00am—Pack a picnic lunch from one of our local grocery stores and head out for a
leisurely afternoon of boat riding on Lake Mohawksin and the Wisconsin River. Don’t have a boat? Rent one from Tomahawk Sports Center located on the Mohawksin.
Cruise up the Mohawksin and cool off with a swim at SARA Park Beach. SARA Park is located on West Somo Avenue. The park offers a baseball field, soccer field, volley ball, activity center, indoor ice skating/hockey rink, playground and swimming beach.
5:30pm—Head back to town after your boat ride and enjoy dinner at one of Tomahawks many restaurants.
7:00pm—Arrive early at Memorial park for the Kwahamot Water Ski Shows which

Day Two:
8:00am—Breakfast at your favorite Tomahawk restaurant.
9:00am—Good thing you ate a good breakfast—otherwise, you might want to eat all the berries you’ll be picking at the Tomahawk Berry Farm. Enjoy acres of strawberries, waiting to be picked. Great fun for the entire family!
11am—Just a short distance from the Berry Farm, go to the Windmill Ice Cream Shoppe for a delicious ice cream cone.
Noon—Grab a burger at a Tomahawk area restaurant.
1pm—A great way to spend an afternoon is a nature walk or bicycle ride in the shade of the cool pines on the Hiawatha Trail. The southern trailhead of the Hiawatha Trail is only minutes north of Tomahawk. The trail passes several lakes and has some of the best
scenery in the Northwoods.
5pm—Rest your weary legs and have dinner in Tomahawk.

Noon—Lunch. After a morning of fishing, you’ll be ready for a bite to eat.
1pm— Enjoy an afternoon at Memorial Park. Read a book sitting under a tree while the kids play on the playground and explore the Army tank. Challenge the kids to a game of volleyball. Just across the road (across Fourth Avenue), take a walk on Tomahawk’s Riverwalk. A short walk with beautiful lake scenery. Grill out hot dogs under the parks covered shelter.
