Visit Mercer, WI

From the vast water wonderland of the 14,300 acre Turtle Flambeau Flowage to the far-reaching wilderness of the 74,500 acres of public forestland, Mercer offers authentic outdoor adventures that you will remember long after you?ve returned home.

Whether you choose to explore on snowmobile, ATV, car, camper, bike, boat, skis, or by foot, you are sure to discover the unending, unique fascination of the Northwoods.

Every season offers a new way to experience our natural beauty. The quiet of winter snow is broken by the sounds of spring peepers that fade as the loon?s calls fill the lakes in the summer.

Don't always fish where everyone tells you where to go. Just look for structure and good shorelines. I've had great days catching walleye and smallmouth all non stop, and of course been skunked some days. Great lake that can be challenging to fish. Don't expect huge size for fish, except the smallmouth and muskie sometimes if you really get into them.
