Vilas County – These Are Your Moments
Discover why year after year, generation after generation, vacationers return to Vilas County in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. 
            
For the outdoor adventurer, Vilas County is a wilderness playground. Home to 1,300 lakes, Vilas County boasts one of the largest concentrations of freshwater lakes on earth. Relax on a sandy beach, swim crystal clear waters or go waterskiing. Paddle the pristine headwaters of the Wisconsin River, the winding Manitowish River or a secluded no-motor lake surrounded by forests. Fish for walleye, crappie, smallmouth and largemouth bass and trophy-size musky. And during the winter, Vilas County is one of the premiere ice fishing destinations in the Midwest.

 

Vilas County has 48 designated trails, both paved and unpaved, providing opportunities for bicycling, hiking, birdwatching and wildlife viewing. The shimmer of fresh-fallen snow beckons cross-country skiers and snowshoers to explore. Snowmobilers can ride more than 600 miles of well-groomed trails from one warm and welcoming community to another. The twelve communities of Vilas County offer family-owned resorts, charming bed & breakfasts and comfortable motels. Each community has its own unique charm—exploring the restaurants, shops and local attractions is one of the best parts of a Vilas County vacation.
