Welcome to the Northwoods of Wisconsin and the communities of Arbor Vitae, Hazelhurst, Woodruff, and Minocqua—Nature’s Original Water Park͐. Located in northern Wisconsin’s Lake Country, the area is home to thousands of lakes, rivers, and streams that offer almost endless opportuntities for boating, swimming, fishing, and other aquatic adventures.
The Minocqua Area is also home to boundless woods and forests that are open year-round for hiking, biking, snowmobiling, and more, including iconic attractions like the Bearskin State Trail and the Northern-Highland American Legion State Forest.
No matter when you visit the Minocqua Area, you’ll find something fun to do, from Scheer’s Lumberjack Shows and Min-Aqua Bats Water Ski Shows in the summer to iconic events like Beef-A-Rama every September to can’t-miss dining culinary specialties like cheese curds, fish fry, and other supper club favorites.
