About us
PLEASE READ FULL DESCRIPTION! Northern Paddle and Trail (NPT) began in Rhinelander, WI about 25 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 all Meetup members that have not officially joined NPT, we invite you to go to our home website, click on "membership" and consider joining NPT for the low fee of $10/yr. You will then be included in our Group Email List to get notices of our events. If you do not want to join NPT at this time, remember you can go to the website's calendar anytime and see what we are up to and join anytime. Plus the home website has many pictures from past adventures.
Hope to see you on the trails or on the water!

Bocce Ball Challenge
2821 Green Bass Rd, 2821 Green Bass Rd, Rhinelander, WI 54501, USA, Rhinelander, WI, USBBB Challenge, Monday, October 26th, 4:00-7:00 p.m., Alan Janssen's home, 2821 Green Bass Rd., Rhinelander
Dear NPT'rs. It's back again , the Bocce Challenge, now being relabeled the NPT BBB Challenge (brats, burgers, and Bocce ball). It will be held at host Alan Janssen's house 2821 Green Bass Rd., Rhinelander. We have been lucky enough to again utilize the eagle-eyed talent of the world renowned official Brandi Wayt. As usual, what she says goes! No exceptions. The magnificent course has been improved by adding a few acorns here and there which should level, so to speak, the playing field where some of the bowling talent has been questionable. We will be asking for a somewhat healthy food and personal drink contribution again as last year's potluck items were delicious. If necessary you might bring appropriate warm clothing, gloves, and who knows, maybe a snow shovel. But the Challenge must go on !!
Directions from Rhinelander: (20 min) Travel West on Hwy 8 for about 3 miles from the "world famous roundabout" (Hwy 8 and 47) and turn left onto South Rifle Road. S. Rifle will blend into Green Bass Rd by going straight and not turning. Aim for fire # 2821 Green Bass Rd. All the houses are well marked so no excuses for getting lost
A donation of $5.00 is requested for non-NPT members which can be paid at the event. Your $5.00 will pay for your membership into NPT through December 31st. To become a NPT member online go to NorthernPaddleandTrail.org and click on membership.
