What we’re about

PLEASE READ FULL DESCRIPTION! Northern Paddle and Trail (NPT) began in Rhinelander, WI about 20 years ago by a small group of outdoor enthusiasts. It was created to provide a variety of silent sports outings. Members enjoy the beauty of our lakes, rivers and forests where we get fresh air and exercise while visiting with like-minded souls. Our get-togethers include hiking, kayaking, canoeing, biking, XC skiing, snowshoeing, ice shuffleboard, camping, and annual potlucks, plus occasional game nights at a local pub.

For many years NPT has maintained a website at: https://northernpaddletrail.org. Here you can peruse pictures of past events, info about joining NPT and more. There is an annual fee for membership. $10/person or $15/family. Your first event is FREE. After that, if you wish to continue, you will need to join NPT at the website listed above.

At this time future events will be posted here on MeetUp and on the website’s calendar. Members are welcome to lead an event as we are open to new ideas and places to go.
