Sawyer County, Wisconsin

Sawyer County is up in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. It’s where lakes and forests take center stage. The county seat, Hayward, is famous for its world-record muskie fishing.
Locals and tourists come to the area for outdoor adventures year-round. In winter, the Birkebeiner ski race draws thousands of eager participants. Summer brings hikers, bikers, and paddlers to explore the pristine wilderness.
The Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest covers a big chunk of the county. Sawyer County is also home to part of the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe Reservation. If you’re looking to get away from it all and soak in some natural beauty, Sawyer County’s the place to be.
