Two things Cabintimers love jump out here right away: bike-and-sled access right from the driveway, and a sandy, family-friendly shoreline on quiet Lake Content. Jantzen Properties’ Eagles Bluff and Whitetail Crossing sit just outside St. Germain with room to spread out, launch adventures, and wind down together without crowds.

At Eagles Bluff, you’re staying on 20 private acres above Lake Content with big-window views and space for a crowd. The home lists 7 bedrooms, 3 baths, and sleeping up to 20, plus a lakeside deck, fire pit, and a private dock for your crew. The sandy shallows are perfect for kids and coffee-in-a-chair mornings. A dual-access driveway means easy in/out for trailers and toys.

Next door, Whitetail Crossing is the cozier three-bedroom option that keeps you close to the same shoreline and trail network. Recently renovated, it’s a great fit for smaller groups or for overflow when the whole family books both homes. Together, these two give Cabintimers flexible lodging for reunions, fishing trips, or four-season long weekends.

Why Cabintimers love this spot

Lake days are effortless. Launch the kayaks, cast for walleye, or cruise over to the 1,600+ acre waters of Big St. Germain Lake via connected channels. Even better, the Heart of Vilas County’s 52-mile paved path reaches the end of the driveway, so bring the bikes and log sunny miles on the Heart of Vilas County Paved Bike Trail System. When the snow flies, the famed Bo-Boen Snowmobile Club trail crosses the property—no loading sleds to ride.

Inside, gather in the great room for cards by the fire, cook together in a well-equipped kitchen, and spread out in multiple sleeping spaces so bedtime is easy. Fast Wi-Fi, laundry, and smart TVs keep the modern comforts covered between adventures.

Keep the itinerary simple (and local)

Morning ride, afternoon lake, repeat—that’s a Northwoods day done right. If you’re looking to explore, plan a stop at the Snowmobile Hall of Fame & Museum, pedal a new segment of the Heart of Vilas trail toward Sayner or Boulder Junction, or chase a sunset on Lake Content with a shoreline stroll. Anglers can target musky, walleye, pike, and bass across Lake Content and Big St. Germain; paddlers will find quiet coves for loons and lily pads.

Book direct for the best trip

Skip the third-party markups—book straight with the owners for friendly rates, quick answers, and real local tips. Cabintimers, head to Jantzen Properties to check dates for Eagles Bluff and Whitetail Crossing, ask questions, and lock in your stay with no service fees and no middleman.

St. Germain Cabins with Boats at the Dock: Meet Northwoods Vacation Rentals. A RentWisconsinCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2013!

If easy lake days are calling, Northwoods Vacation Rentals in St. Germain, Wisconsin makes it simple. Two standouts Cabintimers love right away: on‑site pontoon and fishing‑boat rentals plus private piers with lakeside fire pits. Park the car, wheel your cooler to the dock, and spend your time fishing, paddling, and watching the loons instead of chasing marina schedules.

Northwoods Vacation Rentals keeps things personal and local. The team is based in St. Germain and focuses on helping guests make the most of their vacation—from where to catch walleye at sunrise to the best place for a Friday fish fry. Cabins and lake homes are spread across Little St. Germain Lake, Big St. Germain Lake, Lost Lake, Moon Lake, and Little Arbor Vitae Lake, so you can match your style of water and shoreline to your group.

Why Cabintimers book here

You’re not scrolling through hundreds of listings with mystery fees. You’re booking direct with a local manager who answers the phone and knows the trails, launches, and supper clubs. Summer weeks tend to go fast on these popular lakes, so planning ahead is smart—especially if you’re pairing a cabin with a pontoon or 16.5’ fishing boat.

Cabin spotlights (a few guest favorites)

Foster’s Lakehouse – Little St. Germain Lake
A three‑bedroom, two‑bath year‑round lake home on the east side of the lake—hello, sunset views. Inside you’ve got a full kitchen and washer/dryer; outside is a private pier, lakeside fire ring, and a canoe plus two kayaks. Anglers appreciate the included 14’ aluminum boat and the option to add a motor, fishing boat, or pontoon. Snowmobilers can hop on area trails right from the property.

Lay‑Z‑Pine – Big St. Germain Lake
About 40 feet from the water with a refreshed kitchen and living area, this cottage puts you close to the action. Families like the sandy beach, tennis court, and playground access, along with an on‑site boat launch and included small aluminum boat. Internet with smart TV makes movie night easy after the campfire.

Moon Lake Chalet – Moon Lake
A three‑bedroom, two‑bath lake home made for all‑season fun: 3 kayaks, private pier and campfire pit, central air, and both snowmobile and ATV/UTV access. The big deck faces a quiet shoreline where eagles and loons are regulars.

Grazian’s Lake View Cabin – Little St. Germain Lake
A two‑bedroom cabin with an open living area, extra‑large kitchen counter, and a side deck for grilling on the gas grill. Set just above one of two sandy beach areas with a swim raft and sunning dock. There’s pier space for two boats, a lakeside storage shed, and a fish‑cleaning house—nice perks for fishing groups.

Lingering Pines – Lost Lake
Classic Northwoods comfort with a private pier and a lakeside fire pit. Lost Lake is known for northern pike, walleye, largemouth bass, musky, and panfish, so bring your tackle box and a camera for those hero shots.

Boats & gear: the easy button

Skip the separate marina run. Northwoods Vacation Rentals rents pontoons (multiple sizes), 16.5’ fishing boats, and small outboard motors. Life jackets are included, and motors are mounted in advance for weekly rentals. Pairing a boat with your cabin means more time on the water and fewer logistics.

Things to do near St. Germain

Warm months are all about lake time—swimming, tubing, paddling, and slow evening cruises. Bikers can hop on the St. Germain Bike & Hike trail system, and families love Elmer’s Fun Park for go‑karts and mini golf. Golfers have several nearby courses. When the colors turn, pack the camera for a shoreline leaf‑peeping cruise.

Winter brings well‑groomed Bo‑Boen Snowmobile Club trails (over 100 miles) plus ice fishing, snowshoeing, and cross‑country skiing. Local events like the St. Germain Radar Run, the AMSOIL World Championship Snowmobile Derby, USA Pond Hockey Nationals, and the Tundra Plunge keep the calendar lively. Many restaurants are trail‑accessible, so you can ride to lunch and warm up by a fireplace.

Trip‑planning tips for Cabintimers

  • Summer stays often run weekly, and prime dates book early.
  • Ask about pairing your reservation with a pontoon or fishing boat to lock in your lake time.
  • Each cabin has its own amenity mix—kayaks, playground access, sandy beach areas, smart TVs, washer/dryer—so pick the setup that fits your crew.

Minnohawk Lodge: Lake Nokomis Luxury with a 1,600‑Sq‑Ft Sports Barn. Listing on RentWisconsinCabins.com Since 2022!

Cabintimers, meet Minnohawk Lodge—your Northwoods base on Lake Nokomis where sandy shoreline, boat‑up dining, and a climate‑controlled Sports Barn make playtime a year‑round thing. Add a lakeside Leinie Lodge–inspired bar for evening hangs, and you’ve got a cabin stay that’s big on comfort and bigger on fun.

Why Cabintimers Love This Place

Space for the crew. A modern, 3,500‑sq‑ft lake house built in 2020 with 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. There are 9 beds (1 king, 5 queens, 3 twins), a wall of windows with lake views, and a screen porch for bug‑free card games.

Sports Barn = no rainouts. The private, 1,600‑sq‑ft climate‑controlled Sports Barn is the show‑stopper: pickleball, ping‑pong, basketball, yard games, and room for scooters or big wheels. When the weather’s iffy—or the kids still have energy—this solves it.

Lake life made easy. A gentle, grassy slope with only a few steps leads to the water and a floating dock with a large swim deck and kayak launch. The shore is sandy, great for little feet. Use the provided 4 paddleboards + 6 kayaks and explore islands and sandbars.

Boat to food & treats. Take the pontoon to popular Lake Nokomis stops for lunch, dinner, and ice cream. Summer evenings + boat‑up cones = core memory.

Work‑ready when you need it. Starlink high‑speed Wi‑Fi keeps you connected for quick check‑ins.

Cozy nights included. Gather around the stone fireplace or head outside to the lakeside fire pit with seating for the whole group.

The Layout at a Glance

  • Great room: knotty‑pine cathedral ceilings, leather recliners, rockers aimed straight at the view.
  • Kitchen & dining: modern appliances, spices, coffee setup, crock pot, air fryer; seating for 12 between table and island.
  • Main level: primary suite with double‑vanity bath + walk‑in closet; second bedroom (twin‑over‑queen) beside a full bath.
  • Walkout level: four themed bedrooms, full bath, and a log‑cabin bar with mini‑fridge—perfect for the evening cribbage tournament.
  • Outdoors: screen porch, fire ring, lawn games, and a shoreline that’s great for swimming and docking your boat or PWC.

On‑the‑Water & Around‑Town Fun

  • Lake Nokomis (2,200+ acres): known for sand‑bottom swimming, paddle‑friendly coves, and a relaxed feel. Anglers chase walleye, bass, pike, perch, and musky.
  • Boat‑up bites: cruise to Tilted Loon Saloon, Bootleggers Lodge, B’s Landing, and the Windmill ice cream stand (summer). Ask your host which spots are open and water‑accessible during your stay.
  • Tomahawk & Minocqua: breweries, supper clubs, boutiques, mini golf, lumberjack shows, and seasonal events within easy drive time.

Four Seasons of Cabin Time at Minnohawk Lodge

  • Summer: paddling, tubing, sandbar picnics, Friday fish fry, sunset cruises.
  • Fall: color tours, ATV rides right from the property’s route access, hikes, and s’mores under crisp skies.
  • Winter: snowmobile trail access nearby, ice fishing, and barn games when you’re warming up between rides.
  • Spring: quiet coves for early paddles, migrating loons, and town re‑openings.

Good‑to‑Know Details

  • Dock: spacious swim deck + kayak launch; room for your boat.
  • Parking: garage plus trailer/boat/ATV/snowmobile parking.
  • Cooling & heat: central A/C and forced air heat; bedroom fans for comfort.
  • Peak summer: weekly bookings typically run Friday to Friday—check the calendar for current openings.

Local Things to Do (Cabintimer Edition)

  • Paddle to a picnic on one of Lake Nokomis’ sandy island spots.
  • Boat to dinner then finish with ice cream from the Windmill (cash in summer).
  • Try a classic fish fry at Boomba Bar & Grill or venture into Tomahawk for thin‑crust pizza legends and casual pubs.
  • Day trip north to Minocqua for shopping, a lumberjack show, or a scenic lake cruise.
  • Hit the trails—ATV/UTV in warm months and snowmobile in winter.

Book Direct & Save

When Cabintimers book directly with the owner/manager, you skip marketplace fees, get local expertise, and keep more of your budget for boat fuel and cheese curds. No middleman—just friendly people who know the lake.

Hayward, WI Cabins: Book Direct on Round Lake, Spider Lake & the Chippewa Flowage. Property Management of Hayward is a RentWisconsinCabins.com Listing Partner -Since 2017!

If your happy place smells like pine and coffee and sounds like loons at sunrise, you’re our kind of Cabintimer. Hayward Rentals (Property Management of Hayward, Inc.) pairs lakefront cabins and homes with real local know‑how, so you can spend more time on the water and less time scrolling. Two standout perks Cabintimers rave about: lots of pet‑friendly options and extras like kayaks, games, and outdoor hangout spaces at many rentals—perfect for families and friend groups.

Hayward, Wisconsin delivers the classic Northwoods scene year‑round: clear lakes, sandy shallows for the kids, miles of ATV and snowmobile trails, and evenings that end around the fire under a sky full of stars. When you book direct with Hayward Rentals, you get straight‑talking local support, no service fees, and properties that are clean, comfortable, and exactly as described.

Where to Stay (and Play)

Round Lake Cabins
Round Lake is famous for glass‑clear water and swim‑friendly shoreline. It’s a great pick for paddling, tubing, and those golden‑hour pontoon cruises. You’ll also find easy access to marinas, boat landings, and restaurants nearby—so it’s simple to keep everyone fueled between casts and cannonballs.

Chippewa Flowage Vacation Rentals
The “Big Chip” is Wisconsin’s largest wilderness lake—over 15,000 acres dotted with islands and quiet bays. Anglers come for musky, walleye, crappie, and bass; nature‑spotters come for eagles, loons, deer, and the occasional otter. If you crave space to roam by boat or kayak, this one delivers.

Spider Lake Cabin Rentals
This scenic, interconnected chain is tailor‑made for explorers. Drift through narrow channels to a fresh cove, cast for musky along a rock point, or sip your morning coffee while the shoreline wakes up around you. It’s peaceful water with room for adventure.

Plus more Northwoods water: Explore Nelson Lake, Moose Lake, and the Tiger Cat Flowage—each with its own vibe, fishing opportunities, and easygoing beach days.

Why Book Direct with Hayward Rentals

  • No service fees and better value than third‑party booking sites.
  • Local owners and hosts who live here—Dustin and Mikayla—and who pick up the phone, offer lake‑by‑lake tips, and keep properties well cared for.
  • Pet‑friendly choices so the whole crew can come along.
  • Extras at many homes: kayaks, yard games, and comfy indoor hangout spaces that help rainy days feel like part of the plan.
  • Year‑round support for snowmobile and ski weekends, spring fishing openers, summer family weeks, and fall color trips.

Things to Do Between Dock Time

Hire a local guide. Whether you’re chasing your first musky or dialing in a walleye bite, a Hayward guide day levels up the fishing fast.

Ride CAMBA singletrack & gravel. The Chequamegon Area Mountain Bike Association maintains 135+ miles of singletrack and 200+ miles of mapped routes around Hayward, Seeley, and Cable. Bring the bikes or rent in town and go get dusty.

Snowmobile or ski in winter. Sawyer County grooms 600+ miles of snowmobile trails, and Nordic fans know Hayward for the legendary American Birkebeiner every February. Trail‑accessible lodging and a warm fireplace back at the cabin make winter weekends feel dialed‑in.

Take the kids to Wilderness Walk Zoo & Recreation Park. Feed deer, meet farm animals, wander trails, and pan for “gold.” It’s an easy half‑day that pairs well with ice cream in town.

Downtown Hayward. Shop local outfitters and galleries, grab a burger or Friday‑night fish fry, and snap a photo with the giant muskie at the Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame.

Trip Ideas for Cabintimers

  • 5‑Day Family Lake Week: Round Lake cabin, a guided fishing morning, an afternoon at the beach, one rainy‑day museum stop, and a sunset pontoon cruise.
  • Couples & Friends Weekend: Spider Lake cabin, coffee on the dock, bike CAMBA singletrack, dinner in downtown Hayward, late‑night stargazing by the fire.
  • Fall Color + Bike Festival: September in Hayward means the Chequamegon 40—book a Chippewa Flowage or Nelson Lake basecamp and make it a long weekend.

Schneider–Wick Lake House on the Sugar Camp Chain: 3 Acres, 250’ of Shoreline, and Kayaks Included. A RentWisconsinCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2017!

If your crew loves long lake days and late-night campfire stories, this Eagle River, WI vacation home sets you up right from the start. Cabintimers get two standout perks the second they arrive: a private, 3-acre setting with 250 feet of level frontage on Chain Lake (part of the Sugar Camp Chain of 5 lakes), and a complimentary fleet of water toys—a rowboat, canoe, and three kayaks—ready on the shoreline. Add a long pier with power for your boat, central A/C with heated floors, and a cozy field-stone gas fireplace, and you’ve got a four-season basecamp that’s as comfortable as it is convenient.

Room to spread out (sleeps up to 14)

Inside the 2,500-sq-ft layout, the living, dining, and kitchen areas flow together so everyone can hang out between adventures. The living room brings the gang together with a big TV for movie nights, a stereo/CD player, and even a piano for impromptu sing-alongs. The dining table seats eight; there’s an extra kitchen table for four. With 4 bedrooms (three with queen beds, one with a twin-over-double bunk), 2 full baths, plus a lounge with a sleeper sofa and three roll-away beds, multi-family groups find easy sleeping arrangements. Traveling with a little one? A crib can be provided.

Lake days done right

Your day starts with coffee on the lakeside deck and ends with s’mores at the fire pit (firewood stocked nearby). In between, the level lot and private shoreline make it easy to pop in for a swim, launch a kayak, or head out fishing. The pier is perfect for docking your boat or renting one nearby. Life jackets are on site, so Cabintimers can spend more time on the water and less time packing the car. There’s even a private sand area and a swimming platform for splash-happy afternoons.

Cook, grill, chill

The kitchen is well-stocked with pots, pans, and the little things that are easy to forget—mixing bowls, measuring cups, a corkscrew, even a pizza cutter. Fire up the gas grill for lakeside dinners, then cap the evening with a crackling fire and a sky full of stars. Inside comforts include Wi-Fi, Smart TV/streaming, and washer/dryer to keep gear fresh for tomorrow.

Bring the pup

Pets are considered here—great news for Cabintimers who can’t imagine a lake trip without the dog. (A weekly pet fee applies.) There’s space to roam and a kennel listed among the onsite amenities.

Four seasons of Northwoods fun

Summer brings classic lake life—swimming, paddling, tubing, wakeboarding, and lazy sunshine on the shore. When temps drop, this spot shifts into snow country. The property sits on ATV and snowmobile trails, so you can ride in/out to explore miles of groomed routes that make Eagle River famous for winter adventure. Indoors, warm up by the fireplace, cue up a movie, and pass the cocoa.

Local things to do (Eagle River, Sugar Camp & beyond)

  • Chain of 5 Lakes: Boat Chain, Echo, Stone, Sand, and Dam Lakes straight from the pier—pack a picnic and make a day of it on connected waters.
  • St. Germain Flea Market (summer Mondays): A Northwoods tradition with food vendors and rows of local finds.
  • World Snowmobile Headquarters (Eagle River): A must-stop for sled fans and a fun rainy-day option.

  • Hiking & biking: Hit regional trails and nearby forest land for easy family loops or longer rides.

Idle Hours Resort on Little St. Germain Lake: Classic Northwoods Cabins with a Sandy Swim Beach & Guest‑Only Pontoon Fleet. A RentWisconsinCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2012!

If lake days are calling, Cabintimers will love Idle Hours Resort in St. Germain, Wisconsin. Two standout perks set this family‑run resort apart right away: a sandy, roped‑off swim area with a sun‑soaking swim raft, and a guest‑only pontoon fleet so you can cruise Little St. Germain Lake at your own pace. Add in free use of canoes, kayaks, and a paddleboat, and your vacation rhythm is basically set from sunrise to campfire.

Lakefront setting between Minocqua & Eagle River

Idle Hours sits on 500 feet of north‑shore frontage on Little St. Germain Lake, tucked into tall pines on 15 acres. St. Germain is that sweet Northwoods base between Minocqua and Eagle River, so day trips are easy. The lake spans nearly a thousand acres and breaks into several bays. That means you’ll usually find calm water for paddling, fishing, or an easy afternoon cruise.

Cabins for every crew

The resort’s 11 four‑season cabins range from 2 to 5 bedrooms, each with its own character. Bring the entire family, plan a multi‑family trip, or keep it simple for a classic up‑north escape. Because the cabins line the lakefront, mornings start with loons calling and coffee on the porch. Evenings end with stories by the fire and stars that actually pop.

What Cabintimers rave about

Idle Hours is built for simple outdoor fun. Little St. Germain is known for musky, walleye, bass, and panfish. There’s a fish‑cleaning house on site when the bite is hot. Kids dart between the big playground, sand volleyball, and the basketball hoop. Pontoons are available to rent exclusively for resort guests. If you’re bringing your own boat, the public launch is just a few miles away—bring bumpers and mooring ropes.

Want quiet time? Slip a kayak onto Muskellunge Creek for a peaceful paddle. Prefer splash time? The gradual, sandy swim area has no steep drop‑offs, so everyone can cool off with confidence.

Four seasons of Northwoods

Summer brings swimsuits, skis, and sunset cruises. Fall colors here are unreal—bring the camera and hike or bike local trails. Winter is full‑on snowmobile country; St. Germain grooms a huge trail network and the resort shares trail updates often. Spring delivers that calm, uncrowded vibe—and the best fishing of the year.

St. Germain things to do

Start with the Monday Flea Market in town (Memorial Day–Labor Day). Catch seasonal events like the Classic Car Roundup, Colorama in the fall, and winter radar runs. Hungry? There are 20+ restaurants and taverns in and around St. Germain, with even more dining and shopping in Minocqua and Eagle River. Day‑trip ideas include wildlife parks, cranberry marsh tours, waterfalls, and even a big‑view run up to Lake Superior if you want a longer drive.

Planning tips

Idle Hours is a no‑pets resort. Bedding is provided; bring towels or rent sets at the office. Pontoons rent to resort guests only. If you’re eyeing prime dates, book early—these classic cabins fill fast in every season.

Book Direct and Save

Why book direct

Cabintimers know: booking direct means no service fees, better communication, and local advice from the folks who actually manage the cabins. You’ll get the straight scoop on the best bays for morning paddles, where the fish are moving, and which weekend events are worth your time.

Ready to go? Visit the Idle Hours Resort listings to explore cabins, availability, and current specials. Then line up a pontoon, grab the paddles, and make Little St. Germain your base for the week.

Ole’s Outpost + Kinni Creek Lodge & Outfitters: Two Northwoods Bases, One Epic Wisconsin Adventure. A RentWisconsinCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2012!
by

Ole’s Outpost + Kinni Creek Lodge & Outfitters: Two Northwoods Bases, One Epic Wisconsin Adventure. A RentWisconsinCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2012!

Cabintimers, here’s a dialed-in plan for a big, memory-packed Wisconsin trip: post up at Ole’s Outpost near Hayward for trail riding and lake time, then head south to Kinni Creek Lodge & Outfitters in River Falls for trout, kayaks, and cozy streamside lodging. You’ll cover the best of the Northwoods and the Driftless in one shot—and you’ll book directly with the owners for the lowest rates and local know-how.

Part 1: Ole’s Outpost — Trails, Lakes, and Space for the Whole Crew

This group-friendly cabin in Minong (near Hayward) was built for gear and good times. On-trail access means your ATVs or sleds roll right from the driveway, and multiple boat landings are just minutes away. Inside, there’s a full kitchen, central heat/AC, a gas/electric fireplace, smart TV with a video library, and plenty of room to spread out across 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (sleeps up to 16). Outside: deck, grill, picnic table, and a firepit that keeps the night going. The cabin is a licensed Tourist Rooming House, smoke-free, and pet-free—clean, simple, and ready for big-group fun.

Little touches make basecamp life easy: boat & trailer parking, a kitchen stocked with the essentials (dishwasher, coffee maker, microwave, mixing bowls—the works), and tent-camping allowed onsite if the kids want a night under the stars. When it’s dinner time, pop 1–2 miles down the road for tavern fare or a Friday fish fry, then head back for s’mores.

Season-by-season playbook: In winter, ride miles of groomed snowmobile trail straight from the cabin. Spring and summer bring fishing and long lake days; add a river paddle on the Namekagon (Trego) or the storied Brule. Fall flips the forest to gold and the trails to fast, crisp riding. Tip: the local 4 Seasons Rec Club is your go-to for trail info, maps, and passes—check conditions before you launch.

Good-to-know logistics: Ole’s Outpost encourages Leave No Trace—there’s no local garbage service, so pack out trash and recyclables. And if you like comparing numbers, book-direct rates on the listing beat third-party markups (subject to change, of course). Direct gets you answers from the folks who actually ride these trails and launch these lakes.

Kinni Creek Lodge WI

Part 2: Kinni Creek Lodge & Outfitters — Trout, Kayaks, and Classic Driftless Vibes

Shift south to River Falls and settle in at Kinni Creek Lodge, a boutique fly-fishing base with 180 feet of private frontage on the Kinnickinnic River—a renowned Class I trout stream. The team here guides fly fishing, runs kayak trips, and operates an on-site fly shop. It’s a low-key, outdoorsy scene where early mornings mean rising trout and evenings mean a grill, a deck, and river music out the back door.

Kayak the Kinni: Choose from Upper Kayak Park floats (¾ hour to 3 hours, beginner-friendly), Lower Canyon runs (about 3 hours, intermediate/advanced), the all-day Kinni Jungle Safari (5–6 hours), or the 3 Rivers Confluence to Prescott (5–6 hours). Rentals include kayak, paddle, PFD, and free shuttle; private boat shuttles are available for a small fee. Reservations are by phone, and cash is the way to go—plan ahead so the only surprise is an eagle overhead.

Why this river is special: The Kinni is an Outstanding Resource Water with cool, spring-fed clarity, limestone outcrops, and a watershed full of birds, wildlife, and cold-water tributaries like Rocky Branch and the Rush River. You’re fishing and paddling in a living classroom—respect it, and it rewards you.

Around-town extras: From the lodge, you’re 10 minutes to Kinnickinnic State Park and 15 minutes to Willow River State Park for hiking, beaches, and winter trails. Downtown River Falls has coffee, pubs, and a Saturday farmers market in season; the MSP airport is ~35 minutes away, making this an easy meet-up for far-flung friends.

Build Your Two-Stop Itinerary

Start with trail riding and lakes at Ole’s Outpost, then point the rig toward River Falls for kayaks and trout at Kinni Creek. You’ll cover ATV, snowmobile, paddling, and fly fishing in one extended loop—plus a healthy dose of campfire time at both ends. Book direct for no service fees and local guidance that maps to your crew.
