ATV Trails: Access to ATV trails - some of which run through the scenic and wild areas of the Chequamegon National Forest.
Biking: A new bike trail that runs along the scenic Chequamegon Waters Flowage has just been added to the Chequamegon National Forest. Access to the bike trail is easy - the new trail passes right by the end of the Cheqmamegon Water's Cabin driveway. Enjoy a peaceful nature ride in this low traffic trail through the National Forest.
Fishing: Panfish, largemouth bass and northern pike fishing right on the 2,715 acre Chequamegon Waters Flowage (also known as the Miller Dam Flowage) is excellent as evidenced by the numerous bass fishing tournaments held here each year. Fish from the dock or rent one of our boats. There is a public boat landing about a quarter mile away and there are many other lakes and rivers in the area for you to explore as well. Just ask Ted for suggestions or check to see if he is available as your personal guide.
Hunting: Whitetail deer, black bear, coyote, bobcat, snowshoe hare, squirrel, cottontail, geese, ducks and ruffed grouse are all game species that are hunted in the area. The surrounding Chequamegon National Forest is a huge wildlife reservoir that makes this one of the premier hunting areas in the state. Make reservations for your upcoming hunting trip early!
Hiking: The Ice Age Trail (click for more information and maps) is one of the real gems of the area. It passes through Taylor county and provides a first-hand look at the geologic features that make up our state. For the more adventurous, there are numerous wild and scenic areas within Chequamegon National Forest, all of which are open to hiking, exploration and photography. Hiking the area is a wonderful way to experience the plants and wildlife of our area and walking up and down the glacially formed slopes is also a great way to keep in shape.
Nature & Bird Watching: 
While wildlife and nature can be enjoyed here year round, birding enthusiasts are in for a real treat if they can plan their trip to the cabin during Spring migration. Tundra and trumpeter swans, various mergansers, ducks, eagles, osprey, shorebirds and numerous warblers can all be expected to be seen from the front door of the cabin!!
