Explore 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. Finally, the woods explode in a riot of color in autumn and then the cycle begins again. That?s the beauty of Mercer. You can?t go wrong... life is outdoors.

I have been fishing the Manitowish Chain for over 10 years now and it is easily one of my favorite bodies of water to fish! The musky fishing is excellent with some very large fish available from opening weekend until season close. In addition, there is good fishing for walleye, smallmouth bass, and panfish also. Factor in the beautiful surroundings and abundant wildlife, and you have a body of water that is tough to beat!
