Things To Do

Discover the Beauty of Lake Tomahawk's Northwoods

❋ Off Road Exploration 

The trail systems are the heartbeat of Lake Tomahawk adventure. Direct access from your cabin puts you at the gateway to hundreds of miles of terrain across the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. Summer ATV riders can tackle everything from beginner-friendly routes to expert-level technical challenges. Winter transforms those same trails into a snowmobiler's dream—extensive groomed networks connect Lake Tomahawk to the broader Northwoods system, so you can park your sled at the cabin and ride for hours without leaving the property. Whether you bring your own or rent locally, the trails beckon. Just gear up, fire up, and go.

❋ On The Water

Your cabin sits right on the water, and Horse Head Lake is your front yard. Swim in crystal-clear water, fish for trophy musky and walleye, paddle a kayak, or paddleboard at your own pace. The shoreline is quiet and undeveloped, perfect for days spent doing nothing or everything. Morning coffee on the dock, afternoon swimming, sunset fires by the water—this is what a lake retreat feels like.

❋ Lake Tomahawk Fall Festival

Each fall, the Lake Tomahawk Lioness Club sponsors a beloved community celebration featuring food, crafts, art, and antiques. It's the kind of event where locals and visitors mix, where homemade and handcrafted items line the booths, and where the season shifts right before your eyes.
