Located on scenic highway 13 following the shoreline of the big lake (Lake Superior) you can enjoy glimpses of sparkling water, rocky shoreline and uninterrupted vistas of blue and white-snow covered lake.The town has a history of commercial fishing, lumbering, farming and stone quarries and remnants can still be found. The local Heritage Museum is a great resource for artifacts and photos of early PW. It is open by appointment during the winter.
  
A  hike to the twin falls in Twin Falls Park is fun and is listed in "Great Short Hikes of Wisconsin".  Visit Johnson's Store to stock up on forgotten supplies and locally caught smoked fish from the lake, visit Port Wing Pottery, dine at the Cottage Cafe or the Port Bar and Restaurant or whet your whistle at the South Shore Bar and the Port after a day enjoying the outdoors. Need gas, fill up here...the convenience store is the halfway point to Bayfield and the Apostle Islands National Lake Shore
