Eagle River
Eagle River is the original vacation and retirement destination in Northern Wisconsin. It has the conveniences of big grocery stores and a hospital, but it feels like an old town pulled off the cover of a postcard. Main street hasn't changed a ton (appearance wise anyway) over the years and still consists of small specialty stores instead of store of the big box variety. The Eagle River/Three Lakes Chain of Lakes is the world's largest freshwater lake chain with 28 lakes connected together. This was one of features that first drew vacationers to the area. It has a year round population of 1,419 and is a compact 3.20 square miles. With it's interconnected network of lakes and rivers, Eagle River made an ideal place to settle back in the old days and was the home of the first permanent Indian settlement in the Northwoods. The town was named in 1853 for the abundance of eagles on the river. Eagle River has been known as the "snowmobile capital of the world" where for 50 years the World Champion Snow Derby has been held. Eagle River has a really informative website where you can find more information about this wonderful Wisconsin town.

| Three Lakes - A twelve minute drive from
downtown Eagle River will take you to downtown Three Lakes. Three Lakes is a great little town. It
was voted best town in America in a Disney vote a few years back. The town has a mom and pop feel
and is quite cozy. There are a few places in town to grab a bite to eat, a great little bakery and
my favorite, an ice cream shop. You won't feel anything other than welcomed by the great people of
this little town. For the wine lovers out there, don't miss the chance to check out the Three Lakes
Winery. Saint Germain - A fifteen minute drive from Eagle River will bring you to St. Germain. St. Germain is another smaller northwoods town. It has quite a few places to eat in town, a grocery store, some rental places and a few hotels. There are also activities happening around the town all year round. Clearwater Lake - Clearwater Lake is the home of Gold Bar Realty, Aroma's restaurant, and to some really nice people. It's basically a map dot on HWY 45 but is located just five miles from both Eagle River and Three Lakes so it is has location working in its favor. Sugar Camp - Sugar Camp is thirteen miles south of Eagle River on HWY 17. There are a few bar and grill places in town as well as the White Stag, which has some really good food. Conover - Fourteen miles north of Eagle River on HWY 45 lies Conover. Conover is another map dot town, but it has gas and bait and can come in handy if you live north of Eagle River and need something small. It saves some drive time. |
