North Woods Summer

Some of the pro's for the north woods is a great place to be in the summer because of the many beautiful forests, lakes, and streams. The forest is full of many smells, and colors from the trees, flowers, rock, ground, and leaves. The water in some of the lakes, and streams is so cold you could drink from them. The wild animal's are some plentiful that you can take a walk through the woods counting the animals that you will see like birds, squirrels, fox's, beavers, muskrats, ducks, other water birds, raccoons, porcupines, rabbits, deer, bear, and many others.

One of the con's to this beautiful country is of course is the many types of bugs, and insects that you have to put up with, but a good insect spray will take care of them.

All in all the north country is a very nice place to vacation in.

Wisconsin Adventure Travel

A Lake in Northern Wisconsin in the fall.

As a small boy, being raised in Vilas County of the north woods of central Wisconsin, in the small town of
"Land O' Lakes", setting right on the Wisconsin / Michigan(UP) border. I did not understand how very beautiful this land of the northern lights ready was.

The landscape is rolling hills with a lot of lakes, and streams (I mean a lot of them), with forests that go for miles, and miles with trees of every kind. The lake waters are so clear that you can see the bottom of the lake 20 feet down, and watch the fish swimming in and out of the rocks, and weeds. There are lakes that are connected together by streams that make up what is called "The chain of lakes" . You can travel by boat from one lake to the other for 5 to 20 lakes in a row. The streams are so clear and cold that you could drink from them.

Fishing on these creeks, streams, and lakes is so good that you have to throw back many of them just to keep within your limits.

In this part of Wisconsin all you can do is fish, hunt, hike, ski(water or snow), boating, camping, be a lumber jack, or a fishing guide. It is a small resort town of about 500 real resident's who live there all year round, and in the summer time the residents grow to over 3000 due to vacationers, and summer cabin owners on the lakes, and streams.

There are many resorts from modern to rustic on most of the lakes, and streams that are available for summer time vacationing, and some even for winter uses like hunting, skiing(down hill and cross country), ice fishing, snow mobiling. . . . ........................
