The Civilian Conservation Corp administrative camp, Camp Mercer, in Manitowish, contains a self-guided interpretive trail open year-round. In 2023, the entrance to the camp will be rebuilt adding to its original ambience. Several members-only tours are planned throughout the day by guides who were part of the rediscovery and interpretation of this important camp. Also, the discovery included a previous logging operation and evidence of moonshining - both part of the tour!
