If a more serene part of the woods is what you are looking for, cross country skiing may be for you. Our trail system is the best in the area . There are advanced/steeper slope areas and beginner trails that can keep you skiing for days. Snow shoeing has become one of our favorites. Cutting
through the woods anywhere on our 1150 acres can bring you to some beautiful
views! Over a mile to the north end of the property will bring you to a beautiful ridge overlooking Tamarack Lake. It makes for a great lunch spot with no one on the trails but you! There are also a couple of public trails in the area.
Downhill skiing is a 45 minute drive north of us. Blackjack, Powderhorn, and Indianhead offer a variety of skill level trails. Ask us to arrange a ski package for your group! Blackjack Ski Resort and Indianhead Mountain Resort & Ski Area website will give you some ideas. |

Snowmobiling is the winter sport of choice for many of our
guests. Bring your own or rent locally and check out the thousands of
miles of public trails in northern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of
Michigan. For younger riders, Deer Lake has about 8 miles of trails on the
property that they can safely ride without the danger of traffic.
