WINTER
"Bring on the Snow!" is a cheer echoed by winter enthusiasts as the last leaf of autumn hits the ground. When the snow flies and the lakes freeze over is when the true outdoor adventurer comes alive.

The thrill of snowmobiling can be found on hundreds of miles of local trails that are part of the largest network of snowmobiling trails in the Midwest. County and community clubs ensure a smooth ride by their dedication to grooming, signage and trail maintenance.

Step into your cross country skis and off you go out your backdoor or across the lake. Looking for picturesque cross country trails, then try Nordic Woods, Beaver Brook, Ice Age Trail, or the famed Birkebeiner Trail.

If you think fishing is over once the boats are out of the lake, think again. Get your tipups, jig poles and ice shanty ready for some real fishing fun.

Do not forget your sled and snow tubes for some old fashioned down hill thrills.
