ICE FISHING
SNOWMOBILING
Rhinelander's original Hodag Sno-Trails cover over 120 miles of scenic and adventurous landscapes. The "Hodags" own and operate two diesel-powered 1800 LMC groomers and two John Deere tractors to keep the trails around Rhinelander running unbelievably smooth. These groomed trails link Rhinelander, the hub of snowmobiling, with the following areas: Lake Tomahawk, Minocqua, St. Germain, Eagle River, Three Lakes, Crandon, and Pelican Lake to Antigo. Need to fill up? We also carry unleaded gasoline for snowmobiles.
Lake Thompson provides the ice fishing enthusiast with 400 acres of prime fishing for walleye, northern pike, perch, and panfish.
SNOW-SHOEING
Whether you are an avid snowshoer or you just enjoy taking in the beauty of the Northwoods, we have a dedicated one-mile snowshoe trail right here at Holiday Acres! Snowshoes are available for rent at the front desk.
