Rhinelander
is the county seat of Oneida and offers a variety of lodging, shopping,
nightlife and fun for every visitor's taste and budget.
Oneida County 1,000 miles of groomed trails connect Rhinelander with
all of Northern Wisconsin and Michigan Upper Peninsula. Trails flow through
highlands hardwoods, pine forests, low lying bogs filled with spruce and
tamarack, and wide-open spaces of frozen lakes and farmer's fields.
Rhinelander is blessed to have two snowmobile clubs to take good care
of the trails. The clubs strive to keep up to date with top-notch grooming
equipment and groom heavily traveled trails up to four times a week.
The Northwoods Passage grooms trails from Rhinelander to west to Tomahawk,
north to Minocqua, and south to the Gleason trails. The
Hodag Sno-Trails
Club maintains the East side of Rhinelander from Rhinelander to Pelican
Lake, Sugar Camp and Monico.
Many of our resorts
are located along this trail. This area includes the scenic wilderness
area of the Enterprise Trail System. Visitors are welcome to join the
club's group trail rides, which occur several times throughout the season.
It's a friendly rivalry between these clubs to try to outdo each other
for grooming quality. The winner, of course, is you and the other visiting snowmobilers, who rave about the area's outstanding trail grooming.
Many snowmobilers find that Day Trips are easy from Rhinelander
and can be planned to all area's of the Northwoods and into the Upper
Peninsula. These trails will connect you to Minocqua and Eagle River,
the Oneida County Forest Trails, Pelican Lake, Crandon, and Elcho, as
well as the splender of the Nicolet National Forest.
We offer full-menu supper clubs, all-you-can-eat buffets,
"beer and burgers" places, fast food restaurants, and a gamut
of other tongue tempting delights. Our nightlife offers live music at
several locations, a variety of special wintertime events, and at least
one karaoke contest a night, where you can break out the microphone and
strut yout stuff.
We leave the welcome mat out for you! Our lodging offers the rest you
need after a long day of hitting the trails. Whether you are looking for
rustic woodland cottages, modern motels, or national-chain hotels, you'll
find it at Rhinelander's Morningside Resorts. Many are located right on
the trails.
