About Rice Lake
Rice Lake had its beginning in 1864 when Knapp, Stout and Company constructed a storage
dam on the site of an earlier Indian village and a wild rice bed, taking the name of the community
from that location.
A mill was started at the dam in 1871 by M.W. Heller, who was the first permanent settler to move
his family here. Heller was also in charge of the first store, hotel and blacksmith shop, which made the
settlement the center for northern operations of Knapp, Stout and Company until the large stands of
white pines in the area were exhausted.
The original plat of the city included a 100-foot wide thoroughfare that is still the heart of the
business district.
A Lentz steam engine, a unique part of local history, is on display in Knapp Stout Park, Main
Street, next to the Chamber of Commerce building. The engine was built by the Erie City Iron Works,
Erie, PA in 1925. It provided power to generate electricity for the Municipal Light Company of Denver, CO, until it was purchased in 1946 by the American Excelsior
Company of Rice Lake, WI. Once installed there, the steam engine generated power for all the plant's lights and small motors, and also ran all the production machinery.
The boiler that produced the steam to operate the engine was fueled by wood scrap, making the operation very efficient. The mill operated 20 hours a day, 5 days a
week making excelsior, which was baled and shipped by rail all over the U.S. The unit was taken out of service in 1976. The Lentz balanced poppet valve steam engine
weighs 16 tons and is 19 ft. wide and 21 ft. long; the flywheel has a diameter of 12 ft. It is a single-cylinder engine with a 19-inch bore and a 21-inch stroke. It created
350 horsepower and operated at 200 RPM.

501C3 non-profi t corporation.
In our 15+ years, we have entertained our audiences with many theatre
classics (“Camelot,” “Oklahoma,” “Pirates of Penzance”) as well as
newly available area premieres “Nunsense,” “Altar Boyz,” “Beauty &
the Beast!” We love to open the world of theatre to theatre “newbies”

concept where each production can be staged as best suits each
play. We typically offer one dinner theatre production annually. Past
dinner theatre events have included “Tony ‘n’ Tina’s Wedding” and
“Escanaba in Da Moonlight.”
Northern Star’s Center for the Arts includes a gallery featuring area
artists and our own in-house deli “Bob’s Bistro” open 1 hour before

Red Barn Theatre
Over 50 years ago, Nina Klaus
assembled a cast of performers
on a make-do stage platform in
Cap Hagen's Hardscrabble Ski
Chalet east of Rice Lake. Thus
began the Hardscrabble Players,
now famous nationwide for
its excellence in Summer Stock
theatrical productions.
When the Players discovered the
Red Barn in 1966 it had been used to store machinery for about 20 years.
From their start there in 1967 it was a hit with the patrons, and the Hardscrabble
Players decided to buy the building and make the "Red Barn
Theatre" their home. In addition to theatrical performances, displays
by area artists are featured during each play downstairs in The Gallery.
To carry on the legacy that Nina Klaus began and worked on tirelessly for a
quarter of a century, a scholarship fund has been established in her memory
to help further the education of young people dedicated to the theater
arts–the purpose being to keep alive the dreams and tradition of The Red
Barn Theatre. Call for reservations 715-234-8301 or 1-888-686-3770.

Fishing on Rice Lake
From stump-fi lled back bays to weedy shorelines and midlake
spots of deeper water, Rice Lake offers a wide range of
fi shing opportunities.
Anglers can always fi nd crappies and bluegills on Rice
Lake’s waters, and northerns are numerous, including some
lunkers.
But the 939-acre lake which borders the east side of the
city also has good populations of largemouth bass and muskies
to go with the occasional walleye.
Much of the lake is only 10 to 15 feet deep, with weeds and
lily pads providing good habitat for northerns and bass.
Largemouth bass action is good in the east side bays
dotted with stumps and drowned wood. The bays also warm
quickly in the spring, providing a good spot to fi nd early
season panfi sh.
Some walleyes are always taken on Rice Lake, usually
along the west shoreline of the north end where water depths
drop off quickly.
The deepest part of the lake is on the south end—south
of Narrows Bridge and between Colan Point and the boat
landing on Orchard Beach Lane. Depths drop to 19 feet, and
those spots are a favorite of ice fi shing enthusiasts.
Besides largemouth bass, the Red Cedar River provides
good smallmouth bass fi shing on both ends of the lake. The
Red Cedar River fl ows into Rice Lake on the northeast
corner at Hiawatha Park. It leaves the lake at the Main
Street dam, and it’s below the dam where smallmouth bass
are also found.
The lake is fast becoming known as musky water. An
ambitious musky stocking program by the Department
of Natural Resources began in the early 1980s, with the
assumption that Rice Lake’s weedy areas supporting a strong
northern population would provide fry for muskies to feed
on.
Muskies have indeed fl ourished in Rice Lake, and 2011
provided some of the best musky fi shing the lake has ever
seen. By mid summer, several muskies at 50 inches or larger
had been caught and released. Muskies were also caught
below the Main Street bridge, where the lake spills over the
dam and into the Red Cedar River. A 48-inch fi sh was taken
there, and on another day there were fi ve sizeable muskies
caught and released on the river near the bridge.

At no time during
your visit to the
Village of Birchwood
will you be stalled in
a traffi c jam, stopped
at a stop light, pay
to park, see the
marquee of a single
franchised restaurant
or business, or the
entrance to a mall.
When you venture
down Main Street
you will marvel at the
variety of shops
and businesses this
village supports.
A visit to
Birchwood is not a
step back in time, but
a refreshing break
from the fast lane into
the serene simplicity
of village life.

Cumberland
Cumberland is located within the beautiful northwoods
of Northwest Wisconsin. Unspoiled open spaces, clean lakes
and streams, attractive parks and forests surround this unique
location.
The reason Cumberland is called “The Island City” is that
the central part of the community is actually located on an
island. This unique setting means that you’re always “a stone’s
throw away” from enjoying one of Cumberland’s beautiful
lakes.
It doesn’t matter what the season is, there is always
something happening in Cumberland. Whether it be the 4th of
July Celebration, the Rutabaga Festival, Crazy Daze of Sleigh
Rides, fun is always just around the corner.
In late August people from all over the country visit
Cumberland for the famous Rutabaga Fest. There are a variety
of events including hot pepper eating contest, basketball shoot
out, children’s olympics, run/fun run/walk race, a carnival for
the children, live entertainment every night for the adults, and
to wrap it all up, a Grande Parade held on Sunday.

Long Lake is nestled in one of the most beautiful and relatively
undeveloped areas in the Wisconsin northwoods. Yet it has many fi ne
resorts and restaurants and is freeway-close to shopping and activities
in Rice Lake.
The Long Lake area offers many attractions. There is an 18-hole golf
course, miles of hiking and biking trails and canoeing opportunities.
Additionally, thousands of acres of public lands invite hiking, crosscountry
skiing and other outdoor activities.
The area’s natural landscapes were formed millions of years ago
by glaciers. The land is unique, with conifer and hardwood forests,
spruce and tamarack bogs, free-fl owing rivers, rolling farmlands and
jack pine barrens. The woods are full of wildfl owers and berries, and
animals large and small. Deer and fox, muskrats and beavers - all are
to be seen by the careful observer.
One can awaken to the sun glimmering on the lake and listen
to the songs of the many different birds. Loons are heard and seen
regularly, along with mallards, wood ducks, teal and other waterfowl.
You can watch the bald eagle or osprey in fl ight. Migrating birds stop
here and songbirds abound.
At day’s end sunsets are long and beautiful, with the lake refl ecting
every hue of the rainbow - from bright pinks to burning bronze.
Because of the lack of city lights, the night skies are brilliant with
stars, and the Northern Lights often put on dazzling displays. At night
throughout much of the year one can look skyward and observe their

As early as 1872 and
1875, S.A. Jewitt Co. had
established two logging
camps near Mikana. In
1875 Knapp, Stout and Co.
built their fi rst camp on
Red Cedar Lake to harvest
the big windfall. By 1882, Knapp, Stout and Co. had acquired
all of S.A. Jewitt’s landholdings, which included the dam at
Mikana. With these new lands surrounding Red Cedar Lake,
Knapp, Stout and Co. looked to expand their operation.
Logs from Chetac, Birch, Balsam, Cedar and
Hemlock Lakes were sent to camps at the northern end of Cedar
Lake. In all, 55 camps in the area were created with 85,000
acres of timber fl oating down the Cedar River to the Big Mill
at Menomonie.
In the spring of 1900, after the last logs were sent down the
river, the camps were directed to send all their equipment to
Rice Lake. The company disposed of everything, selling much
of the equipment to smaller camps around the area.

The Stout family remained in the area. At the turn of the
century, Frank Stout built a home on an island centrally located
in Red Cedar Lake. In 1903, the Stout family moved in and
named it the “Isle of Happy Days.” Around the same time, the
Deerpath Lodge was built by the Prussia family. The family
began taking in hunters from the Narrows Station at the head
of Red Cedar Lake.

Winter Fun for Everyone!
Don’t spend winter inside... get out and enjoy it!
Rice Lake is the perfect place to get out and enjoy all that winter has to offer.
There are plenty of recreational opportunities when
winter comes to Barron County. Whether it’s a quiet
snowshoe hike on one of the area’s many trails and county
forests, or the fun competition of an ice fi shing contest,
there are winter activities for everyone.
There are several groomed winter trails for
snowmobilers, cross country skiers and snowshoers.
Those multi-use trails include the Tuscobia Trail north
of Rice Lake, running eastward to Park Falls and the
Wild Rivers Trail, which begins in Rice Lake and heads
northward to Superior.
The Ice Age Trail offers a quiet hike as it slices through
the Blue Hills forests and links up with the Tuscobia
Trail before heading off into the northwest part of the
county.
There are cross country skiing trails in the Blue Hills,
in the City of Barron and northwest of Cumberland, and
also in the City of Rice Lake on the UW-Barron County
campus. Downhill skiing is available at Christie Mountain,
just to the east of Barron County.
Besides the two major trails - Tuscobia and Wild Rivers
- the Barron County Snowmobile Trail system includes
about 300 miles of trails connecting the county’s towns
and dining spots while traversing over fi elds and through
woodlands.
For some, ice fi shing is a nearly everyday activity on the
county’s frozen lakes in the winter, and ice shacks dotting
the bigger lakes attest to that. Throughout January and
February, ice fi shing contests are on the schedule nearly
every weekend.
Hunting is also a popular winter activity for outdoors
folks who pursue wild game such as rabbits.
Car racing doesn’t slow down for winter in Barron
County. The Rice Lake Ice Races are held every Saturday
on a plowed oval on Rice Lake’s north side, off Hwy. 48.
There’s a plowed spectator parking area for those wanting
to watch cars slide through the icy turns.
There are plenty of indoor activities too. The Rice
Lake Curling Club is busy nearly every night with league
play and also hosts several weekend spiels. There is open
ice skating at the Rice Lake Hockey Arena. Outdoor ice
skating is available at neighborhood rinks maintained in
the City of Rice Lake, with the main outdoor rink in the
downtown area.
