This time of year roads and trails are carpeted with colors of fall, signaling the hunters to get their gear ready. Wintertime sports feature snowmobiling with over 70 miles of groomed trails connecting the 600 miles of Vilas County trails with the trails in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. We are in the snowbelt of Lake Superior and get an average of 50-100 inches of snowfall each year. Near here you will find some of the finest ski hills in the midwest. Cross country ski trails wind all through the area as well as 20 miles of groomed trails through Sylvania.
Fishing continues through the winter ice offering some of the biggest fish of the year.
We feature the Headwaters Classic Sled Dog Races in February and a winter festival displaying snow sculptures throughout the town. We also have an outstanding 4th of July fireworks display, parade and picnic that should not be missed. We're at the top of Wisconsin.
