The Hayward Lakes Area welcomes you to our Northwoods, home of Woods, Waters, and World Class Events. A Hayward Lakes vacation is the joy and freedom of families at play. Tube or canoe the wild rivers. Do the waterslide, picnic, ski, hydro bike, boat, kayak, swim, go-cart, skate, and horseback ride. Try archery and shooting ranges, fishing, ATV riding, log-rolling, golf or tennis. Explore wildlife by hiking or biking nature trails. Don`t miss the five world class events. Winter is breaking trail through virgin powder on a crystalline lake with your snowmobile. It is crisp, clean air and glittering trees as you glide through pristine forests on cross-country skis. It is learning how quiet "quiet" can be as you snowshoe across frozen wetlands. It is the solitude of relaxing over your favorite ice hole, keenly awaiting the lunker you know is down there.
