Vilas County, Wisconsin

Vilas Location Map Wisconsin

Lakes. Everywhere you look in Vilas County, there are lakes. This northern Wisconsin county boasts over 1,300 of them. The Chain O’ Lakes is a big draw with 28 connected lakes for endless exploration.

The Northwoods surround you with towering pines and birch trees. It’s a four-season playground. Summer brings swimmers and boaters. Fall paints the forests in beautiful hues. Winter? Time to break out the snowmobiles. There are hundreds of miles of trails.

Eagle River is the county seat and calls itself the “Snowmobile Capital of the World”. Wildlife is abundant. Fish fries are practically a religion here. You might spot a bald eagle or even hear wolves howling at night. It’s where you can truly get away from it all.
