PRESQUE ISLE
715.686.2910 | presqueisle.com
Presque Isle is known as Wisconsin’s Last Wilderness. This
77-square-mile area of lakes and forests at the far northern
border of Vilas County is your jumping-off point for trail
adventures into the national forests of Wisconsin and the
Upper Peninsula. In addition to great fishing, Presque Isle
offers trail users mountain biking, cross-country skiing and
snowmobiling. The glacial hills and crystal waters are well
suited to contemplative outdoor endeavors such as hiking
and photography, as well as more fast-paced activities like
waterskiing and snowmobiling.

ST. GERMAIN
715.477.2205 | st-germain.com
How do you know you have arrived in St. Germain? Turns out
everyone sees the big picture a little different, but the feeling
is the same. It’s how you feel connected to the big picture
that matters. It might be the smell of the towering pines, or
the majestic bald eagles that soar over both land and water.
A romantic cabin or resort full of families unplugging to enjoy
some much-needed relaxation. Watching the stars fill the
night sky as a roaring campfire crackles around you. You will
see your picture in the most unique way, your way because
some things can’t be explained, only experienced. That’s
when you have arrived in St. Germain.
WINCHESTER

Winchester, located in the northwest corner of Vilas County,
encompasses over 34,000 acres and 63 lakes. Almost
80 percent of the town’s area is wooded with more than
6,000 acres of public land as part of the Northern Highland-
American Legion State Forest. A small community most
of the year, our area is perfect for summer activities like
fishing, boating, biking and hiking. Winter sports such as
skiing, snowmobiling and snowshoeing are also popular.
Our newly renovated school building houses a community
area, the Winchester Public Library and an excellent history
display of the area.
