What To Do  »  Fall Activities

Come Visit Us This Fall
Although the summer months offer endless excitement, lots of fun & relaxation, & hopefully plenty of fishing & golfing, imagine what ALL these trees look like in the fall!  The brilliant foliage is spectacular when accented by green pine & sparkling blue waters in autumn.  Some even say the colors burst forth in a way that can only be described as "the woods look to be on fire!"   

This is also the time when the hustle & bustle of the summer crowds is replaced by the peace & quiet of the country side.   Come back in late September or early October (our "Fall Color Time") to marvel at nature's beauty, catch a fish fat with the promise of colder days ahead, relax and witness the seasonal change. Come see our fall spectacle, and let nature persuade you  to stay just a little bit longer.

A View from the FlowageA Drive Through Autumn's Glory

Wisconsin's fall road show is a seasonal treasure.  Routes resplendent in autumn colors make a driving trip its own reward.  Recommended trips include:

  • Hwy 70 east from Spooner to Stone Lake
    a popular drive, but the color drive is best on the small back roads that wind through water & wood. 
  • River Road located just north of Trego
    (turn west off Hwy 53 at the brown DNR directional sign to Trego Lakes Ski Trail) is an awesome, secluded drive.
  • Great Divide National Scenic Byway (Hwy. 77)
    take a drive down the windy roads through the majestic Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest.
  • Chippewa Queen Tours
    jump on board this 25-mile excursion highlighting dramatic color and abundant wildlife on the Chippewa Flowage.
 

Chequamegon Fat Tire Festival

Don't Forget the Fall Festivals
  • Chequamegon Fat Tire Festival (Septembers)
    mountain bikers from around the world pedal through the beauty of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest
  • Bayfield Apple Festival (Octobers)
    Live music, parades and never ending supply of apple treats set the mood for a great event. 
 

Don't forget Wisconsin's Open Deer Hunting Season

We have had success each year (shooting a spike or doe on the public land near the lodge) & Hub, our retired neighbor, hasn't been skunked in either the rifle or bow seasons in decades.  He typically shoots more than one legal deer a season.  :)  See you next Fall!  OR  COME BACK THIS WINTER
