Maple Lake Safari

As we quietly glided through the calm lake water and the darkening evening sky was being painted with stokes of pink I could almost hear a familiar voice with an Australia accent narrating the scene…

“There she is. The rare North American porcupine emerging from the woods at the shore directly ahead.”

Maple Lake in Northern Wisconsin is a truly peaceful and serene place. Its remote location and abounding wildlife offers the ability and privilege to reconnect with nature and the people around you.

Over the past few years, Mike’s parents have been enjoying vacations to Maple Lake where Mike’s uncle owns land and a cabin and we were lucky enough to spend two nights there during our last trip home. My favorite thing about visiting Maple Lake was sharing in Kathy and Steve’s favorite cabin pastimes and routines – especially the sunrise and sunset safaris, water sports and family meals.

Can’t wait to see photos of the baby loon(s)!

Porcupine hanging out along the shore. Seeing him was a real treat.
