St. Germain
Located in the midst of Wisconsin’s Northwoods, St. Germain is known for its excellent outdoor recreation. Hike or bike along hundreds of miles of trails or paddle a canoe or kayak along the crystal clear waters of the area’s many lakes. In the winter, St. Germain draws snowmobilers from all over the state with its meticulously groomed trails, not to mention the Snowmobile Hall of Fame. Plus, the Arctic Warrior Snowshoe and Winter Obstacle Course Race challenges hundreds of people every year to conquer a number of adventure obstacles around Little St. Germain Lake. Come escape to the Northwoods in St. Germain!
