There is more to the fall than just discovering the views with the
backdrop of vivid, changing colors. (Although - it definitely doesn't hurt!)
When fall makes its way into the area, you should too!

Plan to visit the Museum of Natural History, located on the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point
campus. Exhibits range from Rocks and Minerals collections to dioramas
highlighting wildlife and ecosystems, and Native American cultures. If you
want to see natural habitats and get an up close view of the fall colors
changing, bike the Sunset Lake  area and the
surrounding moraines. The country roads around Sunset Lake County Park are lightly traveled and offer a wide variety of terrain. Circle back to your
starting point and be sure to dip your toes in the lake. The clear, glacial lake
is a great place for a picnic before or after your ride. Just a few miles from Sunset Lake,
in Amherst, you
can stop to quench your thirst after your ride. Central Waters Brewery, recently
announced they will be introducing a new Wisconsin-based brew, named "Sconnie".
The beer will use Wisconsin products; organic barley from Montello, barley from Ashland,
and hops produced in Wausau.
"Sconnie" is a wet hopped beer that will be released annually, in limited
quantities, during the height of the Wisconsin
hop harvest. Stop by the brewery and visit it's Tap Room, on Friday and
Saturday evenings to fill up a growler to take home.
Do!
September is a perfect time to fit in
a little fishing on the Wisconsin River. Lake DuBay,
located just north of Stevens Point
offers a distinct  fishing service, Pat Pierce Professional Wisconsin Fishing Guide. To experience a new perspective on the water and the serenity and peace
of Olde time quiet fishing, Pat takes guests to explore the quiet waters of Wisconsin where boats
with motors most often pass by. His driftboat is able to provide fishing
services unknown in Central Wisconsin in the
traditions of an Olde Time Fishing Guide quietly plying the waters while
enjoying the opportunities to fish.
