Goodman
Goodman is known for its colorful history. The Town of Goodman originated in 1908 as a
logging community, and owes its entire existence to the vision and knowledge of the
Goodman family. Robert B. Goodman was one of the first in the nation to practice selective
logging practices, and he built a lovely community in which to house his employees. The
eighth cutting cycle on the original Goodman Lumber Company land took place in 1999. From
1927 through 1999, 417 million board feet of timber have been removed, yet the tract still
contains about the same volume of timber that it had in 1927. Recreation is one of the
Goodman area's featured attractions. Lake Hilbert offers a variety of opportunities for
boating, camping, fishing, etc., and Goodman Park, named for "R.B." himself, is a short drive
from downtown Goodman. It offers a walking bridge over Strong Falls, huge red pines, two
lodges for day use rental, hiking-skiing trail, camping, picnicking and lovely scenery.
Dunbar
D
unbar is your one stop destination for fun and relaxation in Wisconsin's north woods.
We have it all from excellent hunting, fishing, ATV'ing, snowmobiling and horseback riding
trails. Dunbar was founded in 1888 during a period of thriving logging industry in the Wisconsin
northern woods. At that time the railroad was the main means of transporting logs from
Dunbar to the southern part of the state and Illinois. Before the town was officially founded
there was a restaurant where a cook with the surname Dunbar worked. Eventually when the
town was founded it was after the cook's surname.
The Dun-Good Riders Club ensures the best groomed trails in Northern Wisconsin, where
we see on average 60" of snowfall annually. So pull in that state record brown or brook trout;
tag that record black bear and white tail buck; have a family picnic along one of our many
waterfalls or just relax driving your machine through the beautifully landscaped forests.
