Summer is the most popular season for camping, hiking, picnicking, boating, fishing and biking. Refreshing lakes and shaded forest paths promise opportunities that are only as limited as your imagination.

As the summer warmth fades, the emerald green forests become flushed with autumn hues of scarlet and gold. A popular activity, leaf watchers hike and drive forest trails and roads to view the contrast of colors. Ushered in by a thick blanket of snow, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, and snowshoeing are popular ways to explore the crystalline beauty of the forest.

The Hayward Lakes Area's central location to Wisconsin's Northwoods makes it an ideal base camp for exploring this part of the State's many attractions and natural wonders. Take a road trip, explore the beautiful Chequamegon National Forest or explore the seasonal splendors of Northwest Wisconsin. Opportunities for exhilarating views, relaxation and quiet nature study abound.

Summers: Are perfect for swimming, boating and canoeing. Plenty of trails to hike or bike are not far in the surrounding forests for a perfect wilderness experience. It’s a great time for family vacations and reunions.

Summer Activities include: Fishing, Golfing, Mountain Biking, Hiking, Four-wheeling, Swimming, Boating, Sightseeing and Water Skiing.

Fall: Brings out the incredible beauty of the Chequamegon National Forest surrounding the resort. Come and enjoy the amazing fall colors, or for the hunting.

Located in Northern Wisconsin including parts of southern Sawyer County, where towering pine and hardwood forest are interspersed with crystal clear lakes and streams, the Chequamegon National Forest offers a wealth of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.

It was a great stay, not a busy area and access to shopping is about 30-40 minutes away. There are great places to eat and fun activities in town, as well as lots of local boat rentals if you want to sit out on the lake and enjoy.
