Northwoods Accomodations and Destinations
We at Musky Shop would like to take the time to highlight some of our advertising partners for our Musky Shop Guide Service website this weekend on our blog. The Northwoods has a lot to offer in terms of relaxing outdoor activities for tourists and locals a like, but what drives a lot of our local economy are the many lodges and locals that employ our local townspeople. Several of these lodges have offered their support to our Guide Service page, so we’d like to give them an extra shoutout for those looking for travel accommodations in the Northwoods of Wisconsin.
