Summer activities for your family are not far from your doorstep in Eagle River, but a few steps further lies even more adventure! Some of the Northwood’s most treasured places are just a hop, skip and a jump away and will make a great day trip for you, your family, and your friend.

We have found a few of our favorite spots that we wanted to share with you and some that are our guest’s favorites places along the way. You will always find something that everyone can enjoy!

A Little North…

Bon Falls: A favorite spot of many who visit the Northwoods in any season! It has beautiful trails that follow the falls and is close to many other falls not far away to make a full day of waterfall hunting!

ATV Trails: You can really go any directions with these trails in the Northwoods. But the farther North you go, the more waterfalls you will find along your trails.

A Little South & East…

River Tours in Rhinelander: What a beautiful way to see Wisconsin with a river cruise. With a meal provided, it’s a great way to end a day watching the sun set over the Wisconsin River.

Planetarium: The best way to gaze up at the stars with no bugs to bother you! Not only is this two ton rotating globe a one of a kind, you would never guess that it was hand painted with finite detail to depict the Northern sky of the Northwoods. This is a MUST visit during your stay in the Northwoods! You will be amazed!
