THINK SNOW!
Watters Edge Retreat has many things
to offer when it comes to outdoor recreation.
One of the most exciting times of the year for us is Winter.
The snowmobiling in our area offers you some of the best trails in Wisconsin. If you are planning a trip to Northern Wisconsin this
winter it is imperative that you snowmobile in and around the Lakeland Area and enjoy the breath-taking beauty of the
Northern Highlands Forest!
A new world of fun
and exercise is waiting
for you in the great northwoods of Wisconsin. Imagine yourself
silently skimming through the woods looking for animal tracks
and birds in the winter sun. Watters Edge Retreat is only 1 mile from
the scenic McNaughton Hike and Ski Trail.
