Located near the headwaters of the Wisconsin River and part of the chain of 28 lakes, Eagle River is truly a ‘Northwoods’ vacation experience!
Outdoor Fun:
With miles of clear lakes & rivers, Eagle River is a fishing heaven with dozens of guides & outfitters to choose from. Whether you’re in search of that trophy musky or just looking to cast a line with the kids, you’ll find your perfect spot in Eagle River. When you’re ready for a break from fishing, hop on your bike, lace up your shoes and head out for one of the many area biking & hiking trails. With autumn just around the corner, the Northwoods will soon erupt into a beautiful array of fall colors. If snowmobiling is more your speed, you’ll find hundreds of miles of groomed snowmobile trails in this “Snowmobile Capital of the World”. Be sure to check out snowconditions.com and get all the latest info for area trails & ski resorts.
