Explore Manitowoc
This summer slowdown, relax and coast for a while in Manitowoc, Wisconsin.
Thirty miles of pristine coastline. Thirteen beaches. A seven-mile trail that parallels the lake, connecting the cities of Manitowoc and Two Rivers. Canoe and kayak trails, hiking, biking, running, swimming, and fishing are all readily available along the coast. Our coastal destination also includes a lot of maritime history.
Manitowoc’s shipbuilding legacy draws thousands of people each year to tour the Wisconsin Maritime Museum and USS Cobia World War II submarine. Young visitors to the museum can enjoy the Waterways and Little Lakefarer’s Rooms, explore the lakeshore through a submarine periscope, and fire up a 65-ton steam engine.
Visitors to Manitowoc will also discover scenic lakeshore drives, a free zoo, an outstanding marina, gardens and galleries, parks, beaches and playgrounds.
Agriculture plays a huge role in Manitowoc County. Visit the Wisconsin Farm Discovery Center to learn more. You can also visit local producers and purchase products right where they were made. This includes products like cheese, beer, wine, butter, meat, smoked fish, olive oil, bakery, chocolate, produce, ice cream, and maple syrup. You can check them out on WisconsinCoastalFoodTrail.com.
