🚤 Explore the Eagle River Chain
Take a boat tour or try the pirate cruise at Pirates Hideaway—kids absolutely love it!
Bring your own boat or rent one for tubing and waterskiing.
🍦 Go for Ice Cream
Because every summer vacation needs an ice cream stop… or several.
Our family favorite is Kathy’s. We love combining it with a biking day—our own little tradition of “Biking for Ice Cream.”
🌅 Watch the Sunset from the Dock
Bring a blanket, your favorite drink, and enjoy a peaceful Northwoods evening.
🔥 Have a Campfire Every Night
Roast marshmallows.
Make s’mores.
Share stories under the stars.
🌌 Look for Shooting Stars
With very little light pollution, the Northwoods skies are incredible on clear nights.
💦 Slow Down and Do Nothing
Read a book.
Take a nap in a hammock.
Listen to the loons.
Enjoy the simple moments that make summer vacations unforgettable.
Finish the day with a soak in the hot tub and a relaxing sauna.
Our advice? Don’t try to see everything. Leave a little bit of St. Germain for your next trip back. The Northwoods have a way of bringing families back year after year. ❤️ | |
