D
iscover why year after year, generation after generation,
vacationers return to Vilas County in the Northwoods of
Wisconsin.
For the outdoor adventurer, Vilas County is a wilderness playground. Relax on a sandy beach, swim crystal clear waters or go
waterskiing. Paddle the pristine headwaters of the Wisconsin River,
the winding Manitowish River or a secluded no-motor lake surrounded by forests. Designated trails, both paved and unpaved,
throughout the County provide some of the finest and most unique
bicycling, hiking, birdwatching and wildlife viewing opportunities.
Vilas County boasts one of the largest concentrations of freshwater
lakes on earth where fishing for walleye, crappie, smallmouth and
largemouth bass and trophy-size musky is as close as the nearest
lake. Over 73 rivers and streams across the County also offer great
trout fishing. And the excitement doesn’t stop when the lakes
freeze over. Throughout the winter, Vilas County lakes offer excellent ice fishing.
Vilas County is a fantastic winter destination. The shimmer of freshfallen snow beckons cross-country skiers and snowshoers to explore
dozens of Vilas County trails. Snowmobilers can ride and explore
more than 600 miles of well-groomed trails through forests and
open terrain from one warm and welcoming community to another.
The twelve communities of Vilas County offer family-owned resorts,
charming bed & breakfasts and comfortable motels. Each community has its own unique charm—exploring the restaurants, shops
and local attractions is one of the best parts of a Vilas County
vacation. For a complete list of delightful small-town festivals,
celebrations, and attractions, visit www.vilas.org.

Musky Marathon
F
ANTASTIC!! Your knees tremble as you shake your hands of water
and watch the rippling water move away from your boat. On this
quiet morning with the fog just beginning to break, you’ve had a
close encounter of the Musky kind!! Who would have thought that a quiet
cast would quickly turn into a tug of war with you on one side and a jumping, sharply turning and fast running ‘monster’ on the other? Suddenly
a mighty head broke the surface just yards from the boat. Thinking the
contest over, you tried to reel in the mighty Northwoods musky but another run directly at the boat proves the “monster” isn’t quite through.
You keep your cool and soon the great fish is brought to the side of the
boat for a quick picture and a gentle release.
Whether this is the first time you’ve cast a line in the water or have fished
for many years, encountering a Musky has a way of leaving you breathless
— and full of memories.
Registration forms and Marathon rules are available from Vilas County by
calling 1-800-236-3649 or from the website at www.vilas.org. The current
standings, pictures and information on the Marathon are updated weekly
and posted to the website. Join the fun and share your memory of a close
encounter of the Musky kind!!
Musky Marathon
The Vilas County Musky Marathon helps celebrate such memories.
Started in 1964, the Musky Marathon runs the entire musky season (May
thru November) and registers muskies in seven (7) divisions: Men’s Released, Women’s Released, Youth Released (aged 15 and under), Guide
Released, Men’s Kept, Women’s Kept and Youth Kept. All registrants receive a certificate in recognition of their accomplishment, and all anglers
in the Junior Division receive an additional prize. Other prizes are
awarded to every 10th and 100th registrant in each division and by drawings at the end of the Marathon. The top three finishers in each division
are awarded plaques.

More detailed trail maps may be available from the US
Forest Service (for the Nicolet National Forest Trails), the
Department of Natural Resources (for the Northern Highland State Forest Trails), the Vilas County Forestry Department (for Vilas County Forest Trails), or the local
Chamber of Commerce Offices (for locally developed and
maintained trails).
Some trail segments, especially in the Vilas County Forest,
may be a combination of hard-pack and sand that may not
be suitable for biking. Vilas County bike trails are open
for other dispersed recreation. Signature species on
designated birding trails can be found by visiting
www.vilas.org and clicking on Birding Trails.
While the following maps provide a general overview of
the availability of hiking, biking and/or cross-country ski

Some points to consider when using the trail system: Don’t litter! People don’t use the trails to look at health
food bar wrappers and/or containers, water bottles, used Kleenex, etc. Please be considerate and carry out what
you carry in. Enjoy the wildflowers and wildlife. Please leave them in their natural environment for others to enjoy.
No camping (unless so designated) along these trails. Most trails are short enough to enjoy in a day.

This blacktopped trail runs from downtown Boulder Junction, past
Trout Lake, to Crystal Lake Campground. Because of the level terrain, this trail is great for touring bikes as well as groups riding
with younger children. There are also places to stop to view the
many lakes and some of the largest white pines in the northwoods.
The lakes in this area are especially clear and the area is famous for
its great fishing. With lots of forest lands and large areas of open
water, sightings of bald eagles are quite common. There is a picnic area about halfway to Trout Lake. This trail connects to the
Plum Lake Trail to the east. Crystal Lake Campground has a 2½
mile plowed winter walking loop first opened in 2008.

Blackjack Springs Wilderness Area, covering about 5,800 acres, is located about 8 miles east of Eagle River north of Hwy 70. No motor vehicles or other motorized equipment are allowed. The area is preserved
in a natural condition where people are only visitors.
-----------------------------------------------------–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––----------Hiking and Biking Trails can lead
you out to the wild side of Vilas
County. More than 100 miles of trails
accommodate hikers and bikers of all
abilities. Numerous hunting, hiking
and biking trails also serve as crosscountry ski trails in the winter. Trail
maps are provided on pages 33-45.
-----------------------------------------------------–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––----------Chain of Lakes with several lake chains located throughout the county,
a variety of canoeing, boating and fishing activities are available. The
Eagle River/Three Lakes Chain of 28 lakes is thought to be the longest
chain of inland freshwater lakes in the world. The area boasts of other
chains such as the the Cisco Chain of 15 lakes (5 in Wisconsin), the
Manitowish Chain of 10 lakes and the Lac du Flambeau Chain of 10
lakes (which boasts of 3 world class muskies). With over 1300 lakes, Vilas
County features one of the highest concentrations of lakes in the world.
-----------------------------------------------------–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––----------Eagle Nests can often be observed along lake shores and riverways
wherever there are high trees, open areas and low density population.
Please remember that Bald Eagles are a protected species. The Rainbow Flowage south of St. Germain provides excellent viewing.
-----------------------------------------------------–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––----------Nature Hiking Trails are marked
and located in many communities
throughout the county. Self-guided
interpretive nature trails can be
enjoyed at the Franklin/Butternut
Lake Campground east of Eagle
River, Fallison Lake west of Sayner,
Star Lake Plantation, the Awassa
Nature Preserve (sponsored by
Wisconsin Public Service, just west
of St. Germain) and Trees for Tomorrow in Eagle River.
-----------------------------------------------------–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––----------Burnt Rollways Dam is located on Dam Road between the Three Lakes
and Eagle River Chains. The structure provides boaters with a boat hoist
which can move craft ranging in sizes from runabouts to small family
cruisers.
The Continental Divide is clearly evident in this area located on Hwy
B west of Land O’ Lakes and marked by Devil’s Lake. Lakes and streams
to the north of the highway run toward the St. Lawrence Waterway while
south of the highway, water runoff is to the Mississippi Watershed. A
second East/West divide is marked on Hwy 70 about 10 miles east of
Eagle River. Waters run east to Lake Michigan, west toward the
Chippewa River/Mississippi Watershed, north into Lake Superior, or
south to the Wisconsin River.
-----------------------------------------------------–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––----------Shanty Boy Hill Cemetery in
Presque Isle is a memorial to those
who lived in rough shanties in the
woods—a common circumstance for
those men who worked in the logging industry. Take a moment to remember those who toiled in the
rugged woodland frontier of the
Northwoods - the men who cut the
trees that built this nation and gave
their lives for it.
-----------------------------------------------------–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––----------Cranberry Marshes located near
Alder and Little Trout Lakes in
Manitowish Waters contribute to
Wisconsin’s national ranking for
cranberry production in the nation.
July through October’s free Friday
tour and Colorama harvest tours are
a highlight!

raises walleye, northern and musky in a state-of-the-art facility. Open
Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend, 7 days a week.
-----------------------------------------------------–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––----------The Indian Bowl, located in downtown Lac du Flambeau, provides visitors the opportunity to view the living environment of the Chippewa
through Indian dances and Pow Wows.
-----------------------------------------------------–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––----------Military Road, used during the Civil War to transport men and equipment, runs through the Nicolet National Forest east of Eagle River and
through the town of Phelps.
-----------------------------------------------------–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––----------Cathedral Point is a beautiful timbered point between the North and
South basins of Trout Lake. Many of the existing pines on the east shore
of the lake are 120 - 130 feet tall and grow at what once was an Indian
garden.

Dillinger’s Hideout. Bullet holes remain in the walls of Little Bohemia
Lodge in Manitowish Waters. John Dillinger, notorious bank robber,
shot his way out of the lodge and escaped an FBI trap in 1934. Shootout
memorabilia may be viewed during restaurant operating hours.
--------------------------------------------------------------––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––----Dams in Vilas County are also interesting sites. Rest Lake Dam at
Hwy W in Manitowish Waters was used for driving logs down to the
Chippewa and Mississippi Rivers from late 1880’s to 1900. Other dams
were instrumental in the development of the Northwoods. Visit Fishtrap Dam at Fishtrap Lake near Boulder Junction and Bear Creek at
Lac du Flambeau near the old Indian Village.
--------------------------------------------------------------––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––----The Otter Rapids Hydroelectric
Plant, located west of Eagle River
on Cloverland Road, continues in
operation to the present day. The
section of water backed up by this
dam is known as Watersmeet
Lake. The 12 feet of water elevated by the dam has served to
deepen and connect the lakes of
the Eagle River Chain.
--------------------------------------------------------------––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––----Star Lake Forestry Plantation is the site of an old lumber camp located on the banks of Star Lake. The plantation was started in 1913 in
an effort to show that forest trees could be planted and was the first
venture in silviculture and the start of reforestation in Northern Wisconsin.
--------------------------------------------------------------––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––----State Wildlife Observation Areas such as Powell Marsh, near Manitowish Waters and Thunder Lake Marsh, south of Eagle River near
Three Lakes, are great spots for viewing waterfowl and other wildlife.
--------------------------------------------------------------––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––----Beaver Dams and houses are found on many streams and lakes. Prime
pelts lured the first European traders and fur trappers to Wisconsin’s
Northwoods.
--------------------------------------------------------------––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––----Trees for Tomorrow in Eagle River is an internationally recognized
natural resource education center promoting the wise use and conservation of all natural resources. Visitors can walk the forest trail, see
the Talking Tree and visit historic Civilian Conservation Corps buildings.
--------------------------------------------------------------––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––----North Lakeland Discovery Center, located in Manitowish Waters, is
a year ‘round community-oriented environmental educational center
dedicated to promoting stewardship of natural and cultural resources
in the Lakeland area. Classes, guided hikes, paddling trips and special
events all celebrate the richness of life in the Northwoods and are based
on our shared responsibility to look after it. Explore 20km of looping
hike/bike/cross-country ski/snowshoe trails, birding opportunities,
unique bog boardwalk, and the Bill Lambrecht Memorial Interpretive
Trail. A former YCC camp, the Discovery Center also provides a group
camp facility and variety of school-based environmental education programs both on or off-site.
--------------------------------------------------------------––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––----The Wisconsin River is labeled
the hardest working river in the
nation. It has its beginning in
Vilas County on the south shore
of Lac Vieux Desert. Take this
short walk to picnic by the headwaters.
--------------------------------------------------------------––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––----Official Wisconsin Historical Markers throughout the county profile the rich heritage and development of Vilas County.
