Winter Wisconsin

No, this isn't about things to do in the snow.

Up in Sawyer County you will find the Village of Winter!  It wasn't named for the season, but for John Winter, a railroad man who help develop logging in the area.

Any time of year is a great time to visit Winter, which sits near the center of the Tuscobia State Trail, and near the Chequamagon National Forest and Flambeau State Forest. Many sites for camping, fishing, hiking, ATVing, hunting and more are all around the area.
