Around Town

Because of Northland's location, fall and spring are great times to hike and explore all the waterfalls close to campus. Green Bay is 1���½ hrs away, so it's also fun to go to Green Bay for the day for shopping, eating, or seeing a movie.

Fishing, Hiking, Biking, Swimming and in the winter there are some close ski and snowboard areas.

Since Northland is located in the middle of the woods in northern Wisconsin there isn't much for city fun, but Northland does have a couple of lakes on campus and miles of walking/running trails. Pathways in the fall and spring are good for bike riding or running. The closest town is Iron Mountain, MI, about 30 minutes away. Many shops and restaurants are located there, and there is also a cinema where students can go and see the latest movie releases.

NIU has tons of options for fun. We have a mini-golfing area, water slides for the lakes that are here, sand volleyball area, multiple basketball courts, a rock climbing area, a zip-line area, and numerous events that occur on campus.
