is everyone’s responsibility
Greetings:
Welcome to one of the best
kept secrets in Northern
Wisconsin. Connors Lake
and Lake of the Pines are in
the heart of the Flambeau
State Forest located 20 miles
west of Phillips on County Road W or 20 miles north
on County Road M from Hawkins. Both lakes have a
very nice state campground with sites right by the
lakes and walking trails so you can take in nature
along the way. The lakes are noted for the great
fishing with both lakes having their own boat
landing and parking area. Connors Lake also has a
separate state park for day trips with a playground,
cooking area, and a sandy beach for your family and
friends.
If you like canoeing or kayaking, the famous
Flambeau River is only three miles away with many
nature campsites along the way. You can make it a
day or spend the whole weekend floating down the
river. There are many miles of UTV/ATV trails
throughout the area to ride with plenty of local
restaurants and taverns to make it a fun time. If
you are a trout fisherman, the Price and Otter
Creeks will make you smile. Nice trout can be found
just waiting for you to sneak up on them.
The fall is a beautiful time to be on the lakes or
rivers to enjoy the outstanding colors of the trees
and the smell of the forest. During this time of year,
do not be surprised if you hear an elk bugling in the
woods or see a ruffed grouse running. People from
all over the U.S. make this area a stop for some
excellent bird hunting.
The winter months are exciting for the snowshoers,
cross country skiers, and snowmobilers with
hundreds of miles of trails waiting for you and your
friends. Both lakes have outstanding ice fishing to
make it a must stop for the winter anglers.
Consider to come and join us this year. We love to
see new people explore. Once you come to see
what this area has to offer, I promise you will be
back.
