A Rich History

The history of Phelps, Wisconsin, is inextricably intertwined with the fur trading and logging days of the 18th and 19th centuries, and with the tourism trade. Lac Vieux Desert was a crossroads for the fur trade and helped to draw the first business to the area in 1896. Learn about this and more with a visit to the Phelps Historical Museum, open May through October.

Nestled in the Forest Phelps is located 15 miles northeast of Eagle River, WI, in Vilas County. With a population of just over 1,500 people, this quiet town is nestled within the 650,000-acre Nicolet National Forest. And Ottawa National Forest is just two miles to the north in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Award-Winning School

The Phelps School provides quality education for K-12 students, with a commitment to a 21st-century learning environment. The School has been chosen for the US News and World Report Bronze Award for top schools in the nation for four years, among other awards. In addition to excellent education for students, the Phelps School provides the community with in-house daycare, a fitness center, a computer lab, wood and metal shops, a new Fab Lab, and two gymnasiums.

Lake Life Livin’ Livin’ the Dream – #OnTheLake!

Surrender to the Lure of the Lake... When we use the words “On the Lake,” we mean it literally. Downtown Phelps sits right on North Twin Lake, one of the largest in Vilas County. And talk about an ideal backdrop for this small town! The view is spectacular all day, every day, but particularly so when the skies color dramatically for each evening’s sunset.

There’s No Wrong Way to “Lake” It Up in Phelps Which lake to hit first? Most of the resorts in the area are lakefront, as are the restaurants and taverns. Why not start right where you are and take it from there? Explore the crystal-clear waters of lakes both big and small to enjoy: • • • • •

Discover Adventure... Answer the Call of the forest... Did you know that nearly 75% of Phelps is national or state forest land? You may think that the trees and forests are just pretty scenery, but we know better in the Northwoods! We see them as even more countless adventures to be discovered!

Bird Watching

Bird watching may be a quiet hobby, but it can be an exciting one, especially in an area with nearly 400 different species! Any season can offer a rewarding and unique birding experience. The best part – this outdoor activity requires no skills or gear. (Although a pair of binoculars and a good bird book help.) From wild turkeys and great horned owls to the more delicate indigo buntings and warblers, your eyes and your ears will be delighted. And you can’t miss the magnificent bald eagles and large ospreys flying above.

Wildlife

Although a slightly less common sight, it’s quite easy to catch a glimpse of any number of wild animals. You can spot them through the trees while driving the country roads or hiking the forests. Watch for whitetail deer, red fox, otter, black bear, and more. Just remember – they are wild animals and shouldn’t be approached. Enjoy the chance to see them in their natural habitat from afar.

In the Woods!

FOREST FACT

• The Chequameg on boasts of more than -Nicolet National Forest and water for all to 1.5 million acres of trees enjoy. • Beaver Creek Nat red pines and the ural Area features large Little Deerskin Riv er. • The 5,800-acre Natural Area boastsBlackjack Springs State in diameter and 4 of pines over 30 inches crystal clear springs .

Geocaching

Geocaching is another great example of how you can enjoy Mother Nature with very little equipment or expense. Phelps alone has dozens and dozens of hidden treasures throughout the public forests. So take a breath of fresh air, grab your GPS device, and go on a treasure-hunting adventure! Local Tips: • A traditional cache typically features a logbook but could hold a travel bug that is meant to move around the world. • Multi-cache involves 2 or more cache locations, with clues leading to the final logbook. • A mystery cache requires a puzzle to solve to get the correct coordinates. Sometimes these can be a puzzle to solve at the actual cache which can be the most amusing!

The lakes, the trails, the woods – they are all waiting for you in Phelps. Are you ready to discover your own “Up North” adventure in Phelps?
