Maybe you've visited Lakewoods a lot in the summer before. Well, now it's time to enjoy your favorite resort in winter as well. The crowds are gone, the prices are better. A host of special sports and events take place here after the summertime excitement is over.

All of us at Lakewoods LOVE winter: Snow on the trees, the sparkle of icicles, and a nip on the nose. All of these signal another great day in the Northwoods. This year promise yourself that you'll share in the joys of our winter wonderland.

Remember our great accommodations and wonderful dining room are still open to you in winter. And here are some of the adventures you can have after the flakes fall:

Snowmobiling – You can ride forever

For years, snowmobile enthusiasts have known Lakewoods as THE place to be. We have been voted the No. 1 Snowmobile Resort in the nation six times by SnowGoer magazine and with good reason.

 Match our great accommodations and service with the outstanding trails of Northwest Wisconsin and you have a winner.

Call us today at (800) 930-6657 to begin planning your Winter getaway today!

We have more than 750 miles of super groomed trails in Bayfield County alone. Sawyer County and the Hayward Lakes add another 450 miles, starting just four miles away from our resort. There are still more trails in Ashland County, only eight miles away. You can ride for a week and never cross your tracks.

At Lakewoods we take special care of the snowmobiler. We offer a full service snowmobile shop with light repairs, gas and oil, and the Arctic Cat snowmobile rentals. Add LIVE entertainment, late night food service, and a giant hot tub, and you can see why we are always a favorite.

Cross Country Skiing -- Lakewoods offers excellent access to the national forest

For those who zip along trails on their own power, Lakewoods has a special appeal. Adjacent to the Rock Lake Trail System in the Chequamegon National Forest, our golf course skating trails interconnect with more than 60km of classic tracks in the most pristine area. Located in a semi primative, non-motorized region of the 850,000-acre forest, the well-marked trails of Rock Lake cross glacial hills and frozen wetlands amid thick forest. For those looking for a world class venue, the start of the American Birkebeiner ski race is located eight miles away in Cable. Ski this super-highway of the forest along the same track taken by more than 7,000 skiers every February. Whatever your inclination, the many trails of the Cable area and the Chequamegon Forest will spoil you.

Snow-shoeing – We'll get you started in this easy to learn sport

Those of you interested in the increasingly popular sport of snow shoeing are in for a treat. Lakewoods rents the newest style snowshoe using the latest technology. Light and easy to use, these new snowshoes open up the sport to the inexperienced or experienced alike. Hike along the shores of Lake Namakagon, delve deep into the Chequamegon National Forest, or follow the beaten path on Forest Ridges Golf Course. The choice is yours.

Ice-skating – When did you last go ice-skating?

Lace up for an exciting game of hockey or gracefully pirouette around the ice, Lakewoods offers a lighted ice skating area. If you forget your skates, our winter headquarters will assist you finding a pair or get you loaded up with hockey sticks and a puck. After you get nicely chilled, ease up to our lounge for hot chocolate or a tasty coffee drink to warm up. Do you remember the last time you went ice-skating?

Activities for all – Snow fun for young and old

When you have to do it all, Lakewoods has that, too. Grab a toboggan or sled and go tearing down a nearby hill. Take a day trip and go Alpine skiing in the nearby Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The ski hills are only 45 minutes away. Make your own fun by rolling up some snowballs and building a great snow “family.” Then fortify your position against attack in a last great snowball fight. With all our snow, and the will to enjoy it, anything is possible

We hope you choose to visit us at Lakewoods for your very important winter vacation. We know you'll love it as much as we do.
