It's a shrunken down amusement park for little kids. In college we called that a dream date. Seriously, if you've done most of the tours I write about, it will be hard to recommend something new, but maybe you would want to visit a resort on an island in Red Cedar Lake about 15 miles from Rice Lake. It's called the Isle of Happy Days, built by a railroad baron named Stout in the style of an Adirondack lodge. You take a pontoon to the island, all meals are available and it's a real fun place.
Rooms range from rustic to quite nice.
I certainly enjoyed it. Again, the Great River Road is just terrific, for both small town life and river scenery. You might wait, though, until the floods go down. Thanx for your input. Expense accounts have ruined me for the sleeping bag life.
