Rhinelander, Wisconsin

Just south of the expansive Nicolet Forest, Rhinelander is located in the heart of Oneida County in Northeastern Wisconsin. When I think of Rhinelander, I am immediately brought back to 1960, when I attended a small Christian camp near there.  Named HoneyRock, it was located on the shores of Long Lake, near the village of Three Lakes.  It seemed like it took forever to get there.  Although it was a marvelous experience I shall never forget, I have never been back to HoneyRock.  I have however, been back to Rhinelander, as well as several other small towns nearby.  The area is still as beautiful and pristine as it was then – it’s just easier to get there now.

Thick pine and hardwood forests, small creeks meandering through cedar lowlands, and old railroad beds from the 1860’s trains that accessed the area – great for biking, hiking, snowmobiling or cross country skiing – are only a small part of what the Rhinelander area is all about.  Great fishing is abundant… as is the wildlife, and there is ample opportunity to canoe and swim in the many clear, cool lakes, golf on the meticulously manicured golf courses that seem to be everywhere, or just relax in the shade of the ancient forests.  The entire Rhinelander area is a wonderful destination… and a great place to vacation.
