Discover Adventure... Answer the Call of the forest... Did you know that nearly 75% of Phelps is national or state forest land? You may think that the trees and forests are just pretty scenery, but we know better in the Northwoods! We see them as even more countless adventures to be discovered!
Bird Watching
Bird watching may be a quiet hobby, but it can be an exciting one, especially in an area with nearly 400 different species! Any season can offer a rewarding and unique birding experience. The best part – this outdoor activity requires no skills or gear. (Although a pair of binoculars and a good bird book help.) From wild turkeys and great horned owls to the more delicate indigo buntings and warblers, your eyes and your ears will be delighted. And you can’t miss the magnificent bald eagles and large ospreys flying above.
Wildlife
Although a slightly less common sight, it’s quite easy to catch a glimpse of any number of wild animals. You can spot them through the trees while driving the country roads or hiking the forests. Watch for whitetail deer, red fox, otter, black bear, and more. Just remember – they are wild animals and shouldn’t be approached. Enjoy the chance to see them in their natural habitat from afar.
