Sadly my mother has to sell her waterfront home on the Wolf River in
Shawano (northeastern) Wisconsin. This is a wonderful home for a
family that loves water sports and would like to live in a nice small
town. Shawano (population about 8,000) is under 1 hour commuting
distance to Green Bay, Appleton & the larger towns of the Fox River
Valley. House is in a quiet neighborhood near shops, schools and
churches. Lot provides unobstructed panoramic river views in a park
like setting with big shade trees and gorgeous sunsets. Location is
between 2 dams so there is no flood danger and the river is wide
enough for water skiing and dingy sailing at the house. A navigable
(small boat) channel gives water access to Shawano Lake (one of the
state’s larger lakes) from the house. Recreational opportunities
from the door & dock include: fishing, swimming, canoeing, rowing,
water skiing, skating, cross country skiing, bicycling (cross state
bike trail is 3 blocks away). In winter down hill skiing is available
about 40 miles away. Note for canoeists & kayakers: flat water
paddling at house, a short drive north gets you to white water put ins
on the Northern portion of the Wolf with federal “wild and
scenic river” designation and other white water rivers. Haul
your canoe about 1 block from the house and put in “below the
dam” for a nice afternoon float or go all the way to New
Orleans! Note for sailors and windsurfers: sailing is not popular on
Shawano Lake but it has great potential with good summer winds and
nice chop for windsurfing. When I was a kid we kept a sailboat moored
on a buoy at the lake and would take the runabout through the channel
from home to go sailing. The river is a bit narrow for it at the house
but you can windsurf or sail a dingy there. If I could live there now
I would set up a pontoon boat as a windsurfing “mother
ship” and run it out to the lake on good days. DO NOT EMAIL ME
