One of the most beautiful winter attractions in Eagle River each year is the Ice Castle. It is created in January by local firefighters and volunteers. They cut 12 inch thick ice blocks from a local lake and haul them downtown and in just a couple days, they assemble a structure that is more than 20 feet tall and illuminate it with lights. Every year the design is different from the past.

The Ice Castle has been built almost every year for the past 80. It is on schedule to be built again this winter, weather permitting, so make a trip to Eagle River, Wis. this winter by car or snowmobile. Make sure to pack your camera and make a stop to see this breath taking sight.

            This is one of the most beautiful times of the year in Northern Wisconsin.  There are numerous events that take place during the winter in Eagle River and our team at Wild Eagle Lodge  would be happy to share them with you.

            This winter there are three big events in Eagle River that spread out from January through March, which means that there is never a dull moment in the Northwood’s.  January kicks things off with the 2011 World Championship Derby ,taking place January 7-16.  The derby’s activities include a Vintage Classic, followed by the Amsoil Snowmobile Championship that starts on the 13^th.  Both of these events are some of the highest ranking winter sports in the Midwest and are recognized around the world.

The fun continues into with the 6^th Annual Labatt Blue USA Adult Pond Hockey Championship, taking place February 11-13.  This is an event that brings people together on the ice for some old fashion fun. Join the 4-on-4 hockey championships created on Dollar Lake with 24 rinks and 200 teams. You won’t want to miss it.

As March approaches, so does the 21^st Annual Klondike Days, which is also known as one of the best family winter activity in Wisconsin. This is a great  family. Come and enjoy the turn of the century encampment, dog pulls, craft show, and much more.  Klondike Days takes place on March 5-6.  All of these great events are close to us here at Wild Eagle Lodge, so if you want to stay close to the action, give us a call.

            Another great thing about winter in Eagle River is all the activities you can do outside while enjoying the fresh crisp winter air.  Here at Wild Eagle Lodge we are happy to offer our very own snowshoe trail, and don’t forget to look at our special packages that include snowshoes.  There are also a variety of other trails you can enjoy that are within minutes from the Lodge. 

We are also located on the Chain of Lakes, so for you ice fishermen the lake is right out your back door.  Not only do you have an absolutely gorgeous view from your window, you also have a short walk to set up those tip-ups.  Wild Eagle Lodge enjoys ice fishing so much that we are happy to offer our guests the Ice Fishing School package, so come and join us for the great adventures on the lakes. 

We are also big lovers of one of the most favored recreational activities in the Northwood’s, which of course is snowmobiling.  With the trails surrounding our area we put together snowmobile packages that accommodate our guests.  You can wake up and walk right out to your snowmobile and head out for the day, then when you return you can warm up next to the fireplace in your condo.
