Discover northern Wisconsin’s scenic lakes aboard Journey North’s spacious 2022 Bennington 20 SVL Pontoon. This floating experience delivers calm, comfort, and access to Florence's aquatic wilderness.
Florence, Wisconsin, sits amid the northern reaches of the state’s forested expanse, a region defined by its sprawling lakes, rugged terrain, and quiet natural beauty. Journey North offers a unique way to experience this landscape on water with their 2022 Bennington 20 SVL Pontoon—a spacious and stable vessel designed for leisure and discovery. This pontoon trip invites visitors to glide across shimmering lakes framed by mixed hardwood and pine forests, providing a fresh viewpoint on the area's geologic features and abundant wildlife.
The region's lakes are shaped by glacial activity from the last Ice Age, giving rise to crystal-clear waters and rocky shorelines peppered with giant boulders and exposed bedrock common to the Northern Highlands. Anglers will find opportunities to cast for muskie, smallmouth bass, and northern pike, while bird watchers may catch sight of bald eagles circling overhead or loons calling in the distance. Floating quietly on a Bennington 20 SVL, the water’s calm surface and roomy deck make it easy to take in these natural highlights without rush.
Journey North’s pontoon trips stand apart by combining comfort, accessibility, and a means to connect with the local environment in ways typical land hikes cannot match. Whether you're seeking a relaxed afternoon cruise or a small-group outing with friends and family, the 2022 Bennington pontoon meets the need for reliable, enjoyable access to Florence’s quieter aquatic corners. Florence itself is a growing destination for outdoor enthusiasts drawn to its mix of water and forest trails, making this floating adventure a perfect complement to the area's hiking, fishing, and paddling pursuits.
