On the Lake!

What To Do: • Swimming • Canoeing • Kayaking • Scuba Diving • Boating • Jet Skiing • Tubing

What will you do with your #PhelpsOntheLake vacation? Surrender to the Lure of the Lake... When we use the words ‘On the Lake’, we mean it literally. Downtown Phelps sits right on North Twin Lake, one of the largest in Vilas County. And talk about an ideal backdrop! The view is spectacular all day, every day, but particularly so when the skies color dramatically for each evening’s sunset.

• Sunbathing • Fishing • Ice Fishing • Ice Skating • relaxing!

How do you Lake? Let’s face it, there really is no wrong way to spend your lake time. Just cast aside your worries and everyday stress, take a deep breath of that fresh air, and hit the water! Which lake to hit first? Most of the resorts in the area are lakefront, as are the restaurants and taverns. Why not start right where you are and take it from there? Be sure to make a day of it. An afternoon of excitement on the boat becomes so much more with the evening call of the loons.

Your Next Cast Could Be a Trophy... As if the acres of freshwater lakes brimming with fish aren’t enough, Phelps is home to the headwaters of the mighty Wisconsin River, the Deerskin River, and many hidden trout streams. From world-class musky fishing to catching your limit of panfish and everything in between, Phelps is a fisherman’s paradise!

Ride Like a Local... It’s all about setting your own pace in Phelps! Fulfill Your Trail Temptation... Do you find yourself daydreaming of skis gliding across the snow or a hike deep into the forest? If you can’t stop thinking about the perfect country road for biking or the sun setting over you as you speed over the ice, you may have been bitten by the trail bug! Luckily, Phelps has the cure. With miles upon miles of both silent sport and motorized recreational trails, you can fulfill your trail (and off-trail) temptations in any season in Phelps. Need a map? Stop by the Phelps Chamber office to pick up maps of different trail systems or download the Vilas County Map It app for your smart device.

40+ Miles of Pristine Snowmobile Trails! With plenty of lodging and dining options right on the Phelps snowmobile trails, you won’t have to waste a second of sled time. Can’t get enough? Connect easily to the 600 miles of trails in Vilas County and 3,000+ miles in Upper Michigan for even more sledding adventures. Plan your trip for early February for prime conditions and to join the Phelps Snowmobile Club at the annual Trail Side Brat Fry on President’s Day weekend.

**Local Tip: Check current trail conditions on TravelWisconsin.com to plan your ride.

Load Up the ATVs! Phelps township roads are now open as ATV routes from May to October and local clubs are working hard to create off-road trails for your enjoyment. Please be aware that only roads that are marked as routes are open for use.

Unlimited Cross-Country Skiing & Snowshoeing! There is something almost surreal about spending a winter day exploring forests blanketed in glistening snow. The 1- mile long groomed Phelps trail is ideal for a day of family fun by snowshoe or cross-country ski. If you are craving a day of Nordic or off-trail skiing, the vast Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest awaits you.

**All New in 2017: Check out the Deerskin Snowshoe Trails, made up of four marked loops ranging from 1.6 miles to 3.7 miles for 12+ mile of winter wonderland.

In the Woods! Answer the call of the forest... Did you know that nearly 75% of Phelps is national or state forest land? That’s a lot of woods to explore! Phelps boasts of 30 acres of land per resident, which means that when you are in the woods, you can find true peace and quiet. What a perfect setting for your Phelps adventure! In the spring months, the sunshine and warmer temperatures draw out the wildlife and wildflowers. The forest floors are covered in trilliums, forget-me-nots, and many other local flower species. If you tread lightly, you may even spot a fawn through the trees. Spring is a great time for bird-watching, as well. When summer comes, the Spectacle Lake and Lac Vieux Desert campgrounds call to locals and visitors alike. S’mores, ghost stories, lazy afternoons - this is what vacationing is all about! Prefer a more rustic experience? Take advantage of all that forested land for your wilderness camping voyage. Do you look forward to your fall color tour all year long? Each autumn, Mother Nature selects her brightest crayons and colors the Phelps landscape with blazing reds, yellows and oranges. With the many country roads and trails, Phelps is an ideal destination to enjoy this colorful season. Winter months bring a new view - snow-covered trees sparkling in the sun with a blanket of white beneath them. Exploring the forests in the winter can be a rejuvenating experience, and sure to inspire the nature photographer in you.
