Many of the townspeople worked for the railroad, but there were also tradesmen, farmers, doctors, teachers and real estate agents. German, Swedish, Norwegian and Irish people were recruited to work in these towns, and became the earliest settlers. They became family towns and today, descendants of those first settlers still live here. One thing we appreciated in southern Bayfield County is the quality of the population. Spring brings a feeling of renewal as the trees of the great forest begin to show their dress of green.
Flowers peek through the warming earth and wildlife appear in the sun-filtered woods.
Summer's months blossom into a wide range of landscape and recreational activity. Fishing for all ages is enjoyed by many, as well as water activities on thousands of acres of lakes, rivers, and streams. When the snow flies, enjoy downhill or cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and ice fishing. Snowmobiling attracts scores of enthusiasts to the expertly groomed forest trails. Warm fireplaces and friendly company await you for a relaxing evening.
