Tucked in the tall pines, surrounded by lakes and rivers, stretched out below starry skies sits St. Germain, Wisconsin. This outdoor and wilderness lovers paradise is a short enough drive to remain easily reachable, but far enough outside of major metros to truly feel like you’re escaping into the woods.

Anglers and paddlers will love the seemingly endless lake, pond and river options found around St. Germain—from the lakeside resorts to the quiet shores where you’ll have room to spread out. The Heart of Vilas County Trail awaits cyclists looking to explore a new path, and top quality ATV and snowmobile trails await visitors looking for a rush, no matter the season. But, St Germain isn’t just filled with picnic tables and campgrounds, there are some remarkable local restaurants, bars and breweries ready to entertain whatever appetite you may bring to the table.

St. Germain offers unique opportunities in Wisconsin’s scenic Northwoods for families, anglers, hiking and biking enthusiasts, winter enthusiasts, winter sports lovers and those who simply want to get away. At the southern end of the Heart of Vilas County trail, a 52-mile paved biking path, St. Germain is also home to Wisconsin’s largest snowmobile club, which maintains the best snowmobile club trails found in the state! Spend some time at the St. Germain Golf Course, carved into a dense forest. Bring your binoculars to see abundant birds and wildlife or rent a canoe or kayak and paddle through some great scenery in northern Wisconsin.
