WELCOME TO THE SNOWMOBILE CAPITOL OF THE WORLD®!

There is nothing like the quiet beauty of snow falling gently to the earth. When enough of it falls, as it always does in Eagle River, another beauty is born: the smooth hum of a snowmobile engine. We put a lot of work into being the Snowmobile Capital of the World®. (Well, the hardest part is making the snow fall, but someone else takes care of that.) There are trails to maintain, signs to put up, races and a Championship Derby to run, and of course the Snowmobile Hall of Fame to maintain. But we certainly enjoy the benefits of the work and so will you. Ride the famous "Eagle River 500." Thanks to the efforts of numerous snowmobile clubs our area has over 500 miles of beautifully groomed trails. Our trail system is a connection of thrills and adventures snaking through awesome views and exciting terrain. This is World Class snowmobiling. You will also find that Eagle River has affordable accommodations for riders, and the hospitality is always generous. Can you see yourself turning through majestic pines, speeding across a long frozen lake, enjoying a warm drink in a friendly tavern after a long ride? We've got a snowmobile gassed up and ready for you. For the lastest Snowmobile trail conditions please call our Seasonal Hotline 715-479-5185.

A WINTER WONDERLAND FOR OUTDOOR ENTHUSIASTS

In the winter, if you're not on a snowmobile explore the trails on your cross-country skis or snowshoes.You won't be alone. There will be hundreds of tracks left in the snow-and not all of them from skiers. A whitetail deer with her fawn will be close by. Our Nation's bird, the bald eagle, will soar to your surprise. Lace up your skates for a little ice skating or bring your tip-ups for a relaxing day of ice fishing.

LET CURIOUSITY BE YOUR COMPASS ON A NORTHWOODS ADVENTURE!

Ahh, the smell and feel of the cool, shady northwoods is almost uncomparable. The vastness could swallow you. The beauty will entice and surround you. So much land and not enough time to explore it all. Try bicycling, a great sport and healthy activity.

There are hundreds of bikeable routes on and off road. From old railroad beds, paved off road, to the twisting and turning trails of the Nicolet National Forest There are maps available for the casual rider and family to the great explorer. Families can enjoy biking together under green canopies along lakes and streams.

Many local organizations and businesses are responsible for building and maintaining these trails, so please patronize them. Enjoy all the great northwoods has to offer but please remember to do it safely and responsibly.

THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING TO CATCH

Eagle River is the heart of Northwoods fishing. Our lakes are known for their trophy-sized musky, but you're also bound to catch walleye and bass.When the leaves begin to turn and the fall foliage is brilliant, it is an excellent time to catch musky. No matter when you visit us, whether you boat out onto one of our beautiful lakes, panfish with the kids, or fly fish for trout in the streams, Eagle River is a world class fishing destination. And if you haven't been fishing these waters for years and don't know the best spots like the back of your hand, there are expert guides who will help you lure in the big ones and provide lessons for a lifetime.

SUMMERTIME AND THE LIVING IS EASY

Head to the Nicolet National Forest or the Northern Highlands American Legion State Forest when you need to get away from it all. What you will find is nearly a million acres of magnificent forests. Bring binoculars and check out the variety of songbirds that make their home in the forests. You're likely to notice the bright, bobbing crest of a pileated woodpecker, the high, haunting trill of a loon, or maybe catch a glimpse of an osprey in flight. And while you're walking, don't forget to look down-you won't want to miss the beauty of snow-white trillium beds and deep purple violets (Wisconsin's state flower)!
