The possibilities are endless in Minocqua, but the more popular pastimes for regular visitors include world-class fishing, leisure boating and water-skiing. Making the most of the geography is key. Cast a line and see if you can reel in plump perch or tackle aggressive bass. Rent a boat for a day out on the lake, or man a smaller craft such as a raft or kayak. Take skiing and speed to the next level water-skiing across the lake. If you prefer land to water, the network of trails through the area is sure to impress. Bike or hike along the marked paths, or take a stroll along the waterfront. Cruise through the Wildlife Reservoir to see wildlife in their local habitat. Attractions for children include Wildwood Wildlife Park, where visitors can pet porcupine or feed deer; Art Oehmcke Fish Hatchery, with plenty of fish to ogle; and Sheer’s Lumberjack Show, full of log rolling, chopping and climbing demonstrations.
