Swimming is a great way to get outside during the warm summer months when you visit the Lakeland area of Minocqua, Woodruff and Arbor Vitae. With thousands of freshwater lakes in the north woods, you could visit a different lake each day.

Many area lakes have sandy beaches where you can relax, soak up the sun, have a picnic lunch, and play in the water. Some of the local resorts offer swimming pools in addition to lake access if clear aquamarine water and lounge chairs are more your style. Some hotels and resorts even offer heated indoor pools, making swimming an option even in the colder months.

And if you’re really looking for a water adventure any time of year, check out the Waters of Minocqua.
