The Mercer area has over 200 lakes within 20 miles of the town. Most lakes have public access. The Turtle Flambeau Flowage is just a few minutes from our door.  It is a 19,000 acre haven for the avid fisherman.  Or if you prefer, have lots of fun riding on the Snowmobile trails. We have direct access to snowmobile trail/corridor 17.  We have snow and the snowmobile trails have been open for the season since the second week of December!  After some temps in the low 40's last week, it has gotten cold and it continues to snow!  There is more snow in the forecast for Sunday, January 22, and Monday the 23rd!  The trails are being groomed daily.

We have over 500 miles of well groomed trails in Iron County.  The lakes are frozen and the flowage has been marked.  For your SAFETY, please stay on the marked trails!!  Iron County also has 175,000 acres of off trail Boondocking.   Call now for your reservation, 715-476-2330.
