Things to Do in Minocqua In Winter
Northwoods Winter Activities
The temperatures falling set the scene for a family experience worthy of a Christmas card. When our waters turn to ice, the adventure continues. Trade your bathing suit for ice skates and your fishing pole for a tip up. Keep cruising the lake on a snowmobile instead of a boat. Strap on some skis or snowshoes and trek through our winter wonderland. When the cold starts nipping at your nose, gaze at snow-dusted pine trees by the warmth of a fire with a cup of hot cocoa.

Snowmobiling
Thanks to the hard work of our area snowmobile clubs and volunteers, an extensive network of professionally groomed trails — more than 1600 miles — are maintained in the Minocqua area.
Ice Fishing
Whether you love the solitude of being out on a frozen lake, the challenge of the sport, or the camaraderie found in an ice shanty town, ice fishing is an activity for everyone.
Cross Country Skiing, Snowshoeing, & Fat Tire Biking
Many popular summer trails become even more picturesque covered in snow. Hopping on a pair of skis, snowshoes, or a fat tire bike gives you a year-round pass to explore a variety of trails.
