Episode Synopsis

Welcome to Discovering the Northwoods from the Manitowish Waters Historical Society. In this episode, we turn back to August 1917, when Omaha journalist Sammy Griswold recounted a vivid day spent alone at Manitowish Falls. What began as a fishing trip quickly became a profound encounter with the Northwoods—where the roar of the falls, the solitude of the forest, and the thrill of catching thirty-one pike came together in an unforgettable experience. Through the voice of Sarah Krembs, we bring this remarkable story to life.
