Explore the Outdoors on the Trails
Just a few minutes from Wild Eagle Lodge is the Chequamegon and Nicolet National Forest. This one-of-a-kind outdoor adventure really hits its peak during the autumn months. Take a moment and imagine yourself getting immersed in the deep trails surrounded by the beautiful lakes and fall colors changing all throughout the trees.
The Chequamegon and Nicolet National Forest is perfect for those who want to head out on a day filled with biking or for a slow hike through the meandering woods. There is more than 1.5 million acres of coverage throughout the Wisconsin Northwoods, so don’t worry about running out of space to explore. Make sure to pack your camera because the scenery is absolutely breathtaking with all of the fall foliage surroundings!
Plan a Hunting Trip
Wild Eagle Lodge is in the center of the finest hunting areas in Wisconsin. There is a huge spread of forest lands available for both gun and archery hunting! Eagle River offers different avenues of hunting on county, state and national forest lands. Before you head out, check the Eagle River Chamber of Commerce hunting report. In Eagle River, you can find a plethora of approved species to hunt: white tailed deer, snowshoe hare, ruffed grouse, woodcock, and wild turkey! Make your trip to the Northwoods one that you won’t forget with a hunting trip in Eagle River and a stay at Wild Eagle Lodge!
Explore the Chain of Lakes
Although we know summer is a great time to head out on the chain for fishing, you can’t go wrong with a fall fishing trip! If you’re interested in a hard-core venture out on the chain or are looking to take a kids first fishing trip, Wild Eagle Lodge is a great place to get started. From the resort, you can hop right onto the chain of lakes and adventure throughout the waters. These lakes are home to: muskellunge, walleye, perch, small-mouth and large-mouth bass, sauger, northern pike, and a variety of panfish! If you’re not ready to head out on your own, be sure to grab an experienced guide.
If you’re not up for a fishing trip you can still head out for a stroll through the lakes by motor-boat, kayak, or canoe! Once again, don’t forget to bring the camera with you because you will definitely want to capture the amazing views of the water and fall foliage while adventuring the waters.
