CONOVER<br />

Your adventure begins in Conover! In 1891, early<br />
settler Seth Conover started his own hunting club in<br />
this beautiful corner of <strong>Vilas</strong> <strong>County</strong>. Since then, the<br />
community of Conover has been a wilderness escape for<br />
hunters, anglers and families. Conover is beautiful and<br />
inviting. The area’s untouched forests offer amazing fall<br />
color, a dazzling panorama of vibrant hues. In the winter,<br />
Conover hosts more than 70 miles of well-groomed and<br />
marked snowmobile trails. Year-round, Conover is Your<br />
Starting Point of Adventure.<br />
EAGLE RIVER<br />
1.800.359.6315 | eagleriver.org<br />
I suppose this is the place where we’re supposed to brag<br />
about all the stuff that’s great about Eagle River, like<br />
the “World’s Largest Chain of 28 Lakes” or the fact that<br />
we’re the Snowmobile Capital of the World®, but what<br />
we’d really like to do is just tell you that Eagle River is<br />
mostly about you doing what you like to do. Maybe you’re<br />
into kayaking, fishing, boating, snowmobiling, hiking,<br />
museums or shops, or maybe you’re just about relaxing<br />
and enjoying some amazing scenery. Either way, we’d like<br />
to think this is a place you’re gonna love. Eagle River, Up<br />
North – Down to Earth.<br />
LAC DU FLAMBEAU<br />
1.877.588.3346 | lacduflambeauchamber.com<br />
Waswagoning, “a place where they fish by torchlight,”<br />
is the name the Ojibwe gave their Northwoods home.<br />

“Lake of the Torch.” Lush forests, abundant wildlife,<br />
250 lakes and miles of snowmobile trails combine with<br />
a modern resort, a casino and cultural attractions to<br />
create a true year-round destination. Visit the George W.<br />
