Winter Strengths

Lots to offer
[ID: 1184427212-468424, on 7/14/2007]

Winter, WI is surrounded by the Chequamegon National Forest, the Flambeau State Forest, the Chippewa River, the Brunet River, several lakes and is 8 miles from world class muskie fishing on the Chippewa Flowage. For fishing, boating, hunting, camping, canoing, ATV riding, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and cross country skiing, this area has a lot to offer.

The Tuscobia Trail in particular, is a main artery of ATV riding and Snowmobiling and gives access to wide portions of this region. It is also connected to the Flambeau Trails, and trails to the north.

The Winter Area Chamber of Commerce is very active and has ongoing plans to improve the business climate in the area.

This area is rich in railroading and logging history. The Omaha Road and the Hines Lumber company were in full swing when the vast white pine wilderness was logged in the late 1800's and early 1900's. A newly formed historical society will be creating a historical display in the soon to be refurbished 1905 Omaha Road railroad depot.

Twenty miles away, varied entertainment at the LCO Casino features world class vocalists, bands, comedy acts and the like.

Winter is a peaceful village with a very low crime rate.
