Lace up your walking shoes and join First Lady Tonette Walker as she hosts two “Walk with Walker” events in Northeast Wisconsin May 21 at 4 p.m. at Bradley Park in Tomahawk and May 22 at 10 a.m. on Springbrook Trail in Antigo. The first lady’s walks are free, open to the public, and explore Wisconsin’s natural, scenic beauty while promoting health and wellness. It also provides a unique opportunity for participants to spend some time with the first lady while enjoying Wisconsin’s treasured hiking opportunities.
“Wisconsin’s Northwoods are absolutely beautiful and a nice change of pace!” said Mrs. Walker. “With Spring finally in full swing I’m looking forward to walking along the lake in Tomahawk and through the winding, wooded trail in Antigo.”
The Bradley Park walk in Tomahawk will be about two miles winding along the picturesque shores of Lake Mohawksin. In Antigo, the two-mile walk along Springbrook Trail offers a scenic 1,800 foot boardwalk and trail that winds through four park areas and a wilderness area, all within city limits.
Tomahawk walkers can park at the Bradley Park boat landing and walkers in Antigo can park at the Antigo Little League Park, 830 Langlade Rd. Walkers are also advised to wear or bring with them the following: good walking shoes, sunscreen, hat, appropriate outerwear for the weather, camera and water.
