Knock on wood in Wisconsin's great Northwoods

If you're looking for a simple cabin in the woods with a view of the water, then you're in luck, but if you'd prefer somewhere to stretch your legs and get the heart racing, Land O'Lakes can deliver. Hiking, biking, fishing, canoeing, and swimming are all popular summer activities in this watery region, while winter visitors can hop on an ATV and explore the miles and miles of ATV trails that are just waiting to be discovered.
Swap summer swimsuits for winter snowshoes in Land O'Lakes
Depending on when you visit, Land O'Lakes can either be a winter wonderland or summertime playground. Come in the summer (June–August), and you'll be treated to sunny skies and temperatures in the mid- to high 70s. Visit in the winter (November–March), however, and the weather tells a completely different story. It's one of plentiful snowfall and ultra low temperatures that often dip below freezing, when instead of jumping into lakes to cool down, you'll be warming yourself by the fire after a day of ice fishing.
A birdwatcher's delight
For birders, there really is no better place. Book yourself a Land O' Lakes vacation rental and head out into the wilderness to start ticking off those species. One recent report by the Zoological Society of the Milwaukee Public Museum identified almost 150 species of bird to spot in the Land O' Lakes area. With such a long list, it's impossible to name them all here, but highlights include flycatchers, swallows and loons, not to mention the woodpeckers and hawks which circle overhead keeping their beady eyes open for prey below. Just remember to bring your binoculars.
