Pembine: Outdoor experiences between golf, water and forest

Pembine brings together several very different options for active vacation days: guided rides on the water, golf at two courses, and ATV and UTV activities. The Miscauno Wildlife Area also offers forest and wetland habitats. If you’re looking for a vacation rental, you can base your location choice on which of these experiences matter most for your trip.

On the water: pontoon boat ride or paddling

BVI Outdoor Adventures offers a three-hour guided pontoon boat ride exploring the waters and forests of Miscauno Island. It’s a specific option for anyone who wants to experience the island from the water. At the Four Seasons Island Resort, you can rent canoes and kayaks from the pro shop, with full-day, half-day and hourly rentals available. This gives you several rental durations to choose from when planning.

In northern Marinette County, BVI Outdoor Adventures also offers customized canoe and kayak tours. These tours are part of the broader travel area and provide another option for paddling enthusiasts. When planning your trip, it’s worth distinguishing between the offerings at the resort on Miscauno Island and the tours in northern Marinette County.

Golf with two different course details

On Miscauno Island, the River Course at Four Seasons Resort runs along the Menominee River. The course is 2,809 yards long and has a par of 34. The pro shop offers tee times and golf cart rentals. Before 10 a.m., contact the reception desk; after that, contact Boundary Waters. This is a useful, specific detail when planning your golf outing.

Another golf option is Green Acres in Pembine. The course has nine holes, measures 2,510 yards from the longest tees and also has a par of 34. If golf is the focus of your stay, you can take these location and course details into account when choosing your vacation rental.

ATVs, UTVs and snowmobiles

Pembine is a park-and-ride location for Marinette County’s ATV/UTV trail system, which covers more than 200 miles. All UTVs may ride on the trails designated for ATVs in the county. Pembine Sport & Lawn rents ATVs and UTVs at N18524 US Hwy 141 in Pembine. This gives you both a named location in town and information about the larger trail system in Marinette County.

Northwoods Powersports Adventures rents Can-Am UTVs and ATVs, as well as Ski-Doo snowmobiles, on site at the Four Seasons Island Resort on Miscauno Island. This adds another rental location to Pembine’s motorized vehicle offerings and includes a winter activity with the snowmobiles. No statements are made about trail conditions or seasonal availability; the specific choice depends on what you’re looking for on your trip.

Forest and wetland landscape

The Miscauno Wildlife Area is seven miles southeast of Pembine on Highway 2. The area covers 635 acres and includes conifer swamp and wooded uplands. Wildlife mentioned there includes grouse and deer, and rare plants have also been observed. These landscape features offer a different focus from the golf and motorized vehicle activities. If you want to include nature in your trip, you can consider the wildlife area as a separate point of interest alongside activities in Pembine and on Miscauno Island.

Getting oriented and choosing a location

The Beecher-Dunbar-Pembine area is near the intersection of US 141 and US 8. These two named roads provide a general point of reference. The experiences mentioned are in different locations: Pembine, Miscauno Island and the wider Marinette County area. When looking for a vacation rental, consider which of these will shape your stay rather than treating all the offerings as if they were at a single location.
