Recreation Around Park Falls, WI: Fishing, Golf, ATVing & More

Wisconsin Recreational Activities

Ask someone what there is to do near Park Falls, Wisconsin, and hunting is probably the first answer you'll get - this corner of the Northwoods has earned its reputation as the "Ruffed Grouse Capital of the World." But limiting Park Falls to a hunting town sells it short. This Price County community, home to the Park Falls Ranger District of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, offers golf, fishing, ATVing, and four-season recreation, all within easy reach of home - and Matt and Brittany Schultz of United Country Northern Wisconsin Lifestyle Properties know this area inside and out.

World-Class Upland Bird and Big Game Hunting

Park Falls draws sportsmen from across the country every fall for its legendary ruffed grouse hunting, with over 300,000 acres of public land in Price County alone. Whitetail deer, black bear, wild turkey, and waterfowl round out a hunting calendar that serious outdoorsmen plan their entire year around, thanks to the mix of mature timber, aspen cuts, and national forest frontage throughout the region.

Fishing the Flambeau River and 400+ Area Lakes

With the Flambeau River running right through town and more than 400 lakes across Price County, anglers have no shortage of water to explore. The Turtle-Flambeau Flowage alone stretches across 40,000 acres, offering muskie, walleye, and bass fishing along forested, island-dotted shoreline. Musky fishing below the Park Falls dam is a local favorite, and ice fishing keeps anglers busy well into the winter.

Golf at Park Falls Country Club

Golfers have a home right in town at Park Falls Country Club, a scenic nine-hole public course running along the Flambeau River, with river views on holes 7 and 8 making it one of the more memorable rounds in the Northwoods. The clubhouse offers a full bar, snacks, and a junior golf program to introduce the next generation to the game.

ATVing, Snowmobiling, and the Tuscobia State Trail

With 1.5 million acres of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest and hundreds of miles of motorized trails, Price County is a four-season playground for ATV and UTV riders. Those same trails become some of the best snowmobiling country in the Midwest come winter, and the Tuscobia State Trail connects Park Falls to Rice Lake along a scenic old railroad grade.

Timm's Hill and the Great Outdoors

Just a short drive from Park Falls, Timm's Hill stands as Wisconsin's highest point, rewarding hikers with sweeping Northwoods views. Between the Flambeau River State Forest's 90,000 acres of multi-use land, hiking and ski trails, and canoe landings, there's rarely a reason to leave the area to find your next adventure.

Hockey, Swimming, and Community Life

In winter, the local recreation arena hosts youth hockey, open skate, and community games, while summer brings lap swim and open swim at the community pool. Six city parks - including Riverside Park and Tourist Park along the river - round out recreation close to home.

A Recreational Lifestyle in the Park Falls Area

What sets this part of the Northwoods apart isn't any single activity - it's the range. Within a short drive, residents can fish the Flambeau River in the morning, play a round at Park Falls Country Club in the afternoon, and hit the trails by ATV or snowmobile depending on the season. Whether you're searching for hunting land, a lake home, or a year-round residence in the Northwoods, Matt and Brittany Schultz would love to help you find your place in the Park Falls area.
