Danbury

his little northwest-corner community nestled in the Town of Swiss hosts several of the largest establishments in Burnett County, despite its wee dot on the map. Danbury, the “last stop to the border,” is less than 60 miles from Lake Superior. It offers the historically significant Fort Folle Avoine Historical Park, a 700-home recreational development, a casino and endless outdoor activities. “The Forts,” as the historical park is fondly known, sits on an 80-acre site of two former British Fur Companies who operated on the Yellow River. It opened to the public in 1989. Its name was derived from the voyageur term “folle avoine” meaning “crazy oats,” though the oats were actually native wild rice. Fort Folle Avoine Historical Park tours are led by period-dressed guides from May to September and offer a view into that former time. The park additionally hosts a dozen or so events throughout the summer. The residential recreational development, Voyager Village, provides restaurants, two golf courses, an airport, campground, parks and hiking trails. This 6,000-acre spread is home to both yearround and seasonal property owners. Many outdoor and recreational activities are available through the Danbury Wildlife Area, with over 2,200 acres under DNR management. Opportunities include birding, hiking, foraging, fishing, trapping, hunting, wildlife viewing and skiing. Danbury is a community brimming with happenings that you won’t want to miss.

Webb Lake

ven more than 60 years ago, the draw of the Webb Lake area was evident. There are 16 named lakes in and around the Webb Lake area, with abundant fish species. Logging was a big enterprise in the early days. Logs were boomed across Webb Lake into Webb Creek, then down the Namekagon and St. Croix Rivers and into Stillwater, Minn. Early accounts refer to the town as “Webb’s Lake,” named after a trapper who operated a trading post in the area. Maps from the early 20th century identify the town as Weblake due to the then postal department accepting only one-word names. Why the second “b” in Webb was left out is unknown. The town was almost named Harrison in honor of Army General William Henry Harrison. In 1838, the name “Webb Lake” became official with the postal department. Several businesses had already sprung up by then, some still going today. In the 1920s, the Webb Lake Narrows Resort opened its doors. In the 1930s, the first recorded Webb Lake Store began operating, known presently as the Main Store. Today’s Cabaret, a tavern and eatery, also opened in the 1930s under another name. It was Ivan Johnson, the town’s postmaster, who was most responsible for making Webb Lake a growing concern in the 1940s and 50s. He added feed and flour, tires and clothing to the inventory at the Webb Lake Store. With the help of his wife, he also began marketing ice cream. The Johnsons built cottages for visiting fishermen. Andrew Kucharski opened the Webb Lake Motel and Guy Johnson built even more cottages – they,

too, to lure fishermen. Webb Lake area residents are proud of their pristine and bountiful waters. Visitors can look forward to their favorite catch, from northern pike to muskies, walleye, large and smallmouth bass, catfish, crappies and a variety of other panfish. So, throw in a line, enjoy the northern woods and water, and relax in a country cottage or around a campfire. Webb Lake is the perfect backdrop.

Webster

he Village of Webster and its surrounding area is a stop you won’t want to miss. From fishing opener through the colors of autumn, Webster offers an abundance of activities. Come winter, plentiful outdoor sports and interests will keep one refreshed in the beautiful north woods. Founded in 1916, just over 640 people call the quaint Village of Webster home. Named for the “father of the American Dictionary,” Noah Webster, story has it that two Webster pioneers petitioned the federal government for a local post office in 1895. They mistakenly omitted the village name on their request and later wrote back to their congressmen that “the father of the American dictionary is good enough for us.” Pristine waterways invite fisherman, canoers, birdwatchers, hikers and bikers along their shorelines. Yellow Lake, Devils Lake, the Yellow River and nearby Clam River will fill your plates for dinner with a variety of fish species from walleye and northern

pike to pan fish. Local trails also offer more activity for hiking and biking with the renowned Gandy Dancer State Trail at Webster’s doorstep. August brings Gandy Dancer Days, a community-wide festival celebrating its namesake. Dozens of events will keep both children and adults entertained, from a bike rodeo to a craft sale, street vendors and foods galore. The event strives for an emphasis on “buying local” and supporting local businesses. In a tradition dating back to 1917, September lights up the village with the sights, sounds and enjoyment of the Central Burnett County Fair, a bustle of activity from livestock competitions to the arts. Webster offers shops, restaurants, wilderness resorts and retailers to outfit your stay and supply your needs. It hasn’t forgotten our four-legged companions, with a spacious community dog park open daily during daylight hours. Bring the whole family.

Frederic

ising from its humble roots, the Village of Frederic began like many other northern Wisconsin townships, as a logging community. It has maintained its small-town appeal and desirable natural setting all the while developing as a northern Polk County area trade hub. On the crossroads of Highways 35 and 48, Frederic’s downtown immediately speaks of charm, featuring bakeries, diners and taverns that are all unique and well worth the visit. The Historic Frederic Art Museum, a 1990s renovation of the old SOO Line Depot originally built in 1901, offers a variety of classes with experienced, practicing instructors and features area artists’ work during its exhibits. The Depot, which served the area until 1982, re-opened as the present-day museum

in 2000 and was listed in the National Registry of Historic Places in 2003. One can visit the depot museum on weekends and holidays from Memorial Day weekend through leaf season in October. Within the village, over 40 acres of public parklands exist for year-round recreation. There is a 20-acre public access lake in Frederic, and the Coon Lake and Trade River Trails offer miles of hiking and skiing. The Gandy Dancer Trail accommodates walkers, hikers and bicyclers in the spring, summer and fall; and snowmobiling is in full swing during winter months. A visit to Frederic is not soon forgotten, with visitors returning year after year, and some deciding to stay.

Luck

midst a bounty of natural beauty, the community of Luck is a gem nestled just east of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. Incorporated in 1905, Luck’s notoriety and much of its history comes from a simple and popular toy – the Yo-Yo. “The Yo-Yo Capital of the World,” Luck’s nickname, rose to fame in 1946 when the Duncan Yo-Yo Company opened its factory. Luck was chosen as the factory location with its seemingly endless supply of valuable Maple trees used in production. At its peak, the Duncan Yo-Yo Company manufactured 3,600 wooden yo-yos an hour, according to the Wisconsin Historical Society. When the rise of plastics came about, the factory left Luck, though the nickname stuck. One of the newest additions to the Wisconsin State Park system, Straight Lake State Park was dedicated in 2010. The 2,780-acre park runs adjacent to the 1,325-acre Straight Lake State Wildlife Area, both offering captivating views and outdoor activities. A portion of the 1,000-mile Ice Age National Scenic Trail winds through the park’s glacially carved landscape.

The Gandy Dancer State Trail provides for hiking and biking from spring through fall, and snowmobiling during winter months. Straight Lake is a hiker’s paradise and reserved for them alone. Luck offers dining, lodging, shopping and a variety of vendors to make your stay in this geologically fascinating area easy. Come explore with us.

Spooner

ounded in 1883 as the hub of the famous “Omaha X,” the place where four lines of railroad track converged, it is long regarded as the “Crossroads of the North.” By rail, it marked the division point between Lake Superior and St. Paul, Minn. Passenger service on the rail was discontinued in 1961; however, in its heyday, 22 passenger trains travelled through Spooner daily. The city’s growth around the railroad is apparent and its residents are proud of its heritage. Today, the Wisconsin Great Northern Railroad runs excursions in the summer and provides bed and breakfast facilities; and the City of Spooner features a museum highlighting the busy and productive railroad era. Spooner is so much more than its history. Its numerous area lakes, parks and trails give visitors ample opportunity for year-round fishing, summer hiking and biking as well as winter activities. Plenty of restaurants, taverns and specialty shops will fill all your hungers. Travel to the “Crossroads” and experience the “North.”

he Gandy Dancer State Trail almost divides the county in half, running north-and-south from Siren to Danbury.

The use of the trail for bicycling does require a permit, available through selfregistration stations at many of the trailheads.

The trail is a former line of the former Soo rail line and was converted into a hiking and biking trail in 1989. A contest was held the following year to name the trail. The term “Gandy Dancer,” used for those who worked building the railroad, was chosen.

The trail doesn’t stop at the county borders. The Gandy, as it is affectionately referred to, continues south to St. Croix Falls, for a total length of 47 miles. North of Danbury, the trail crosses the St. Croix River and runs along the eastern edge of Pine County in Legend Minnesota before returning to Wisconsin in!( Douglas Park or PointCounty. of Interest The trail continues on toward Gandy Dancer Trail Superior. Town Rd More information on the County Rd Trail Gandy Dancer State can be found State at www. Rd burnettcounty.com/index. River aspx and click on “Things to Do,” or by calling Lake 715-3482157. Village

Surfaced with crushed limestone, the trails follows the gentle contours of Burnett County farmland. From a leisure-cyclist point of view, the Gandy is perfect as there are charming communities sprinkled throughout the ride, offering cyclists the opportunity for snack and/or shopping breaks.

SNOWMOBILING

or snowmobiling enthusiasts, December 1 can’t come soon enough. Weather permitting, that’s the day the snowmobiling season opens. Burnett County boasts 332 miles of snowmobile trails — including both county forest land and private land. While the Burnett County Forest Department conducts maintenance on these trails, it falls to seven snowmobile clubs to keep the trails groomed and in pristine condition. Members of these clubs, Cozy Corners, Lakes and Pines, Lake Country Riders, Phantom Trail Riders, SNOWS, Wonderland and the Burnett County Snow Trails Association, love their sport and work

diligently to provide the best experience possible. Similar to the Gandy Dancer Trail, these trails run through or close to communities where riders can refuel — both their machine and themselves. Snowmobiling is one thing, but add in winter use all-terrain vehicles, UTVs and frozen ground trails and there’s a whole bonanza of motorized winter sport opportunities awaiting the cold weather enthusiast. For maps or further information, contact the forestry department at 715-349-2157, extension 3 or navigate to www.burnettcounty.com/index.aspx, click on “Things to Do” and select “Outdoor Activities -Snowmobile Trails” from the drop-down menu.

Burnett County Forest and Parks ATV/UTV Questions & Regulations Q: Where can I ride my ATV/UTV in Burnett County? A: It depends on the season Fire Season (April 1 to the Friday before Memorial Day) During this time all trails are closed due to the risk of fire, and many trails are too wet to support ATV/ UTV traffic. Summer (Friday before Memorial Day through September 15) During this time you may only operate your ATV/ UTV on State-Funded Summer-use Trails (white blazers). These trails are shown on the Summer Use ATV Map. Only machines meeting the state definition of an ATV/UTV are allowed on these trails. All other trails are closed to ATV/UTV use. Hunting Season (September 16 through November 30) In this season, you may operate your ATV/UTV on existing logging roads, fire lanes, and snow trails located on County Forest Land, as long as they are not bermed, gated, or signed as closed. Open logging roads must be at least (8) feet wide in order to ride them. No off trail use is allowed and operation on private lands is illegal unless you have permission from the private landowner. Please contact individual townships for their rules and regulations for ATV/UTV use on their town roads during this time of year. These trails are also currently multi-use trails, which means that any

These trails are shown on the Snow Trails Map in blue. If there is no snow, the Frozen Ground ATV Winter Trail will be open for use once the ground is frozen (green blazers). These trails are shown on the back of the Winter Trail Map. All other trails are closed to ATV/ UTV use. Additional Regulations for all seasons: • Your ATV/UTV must be registered or licensed • Your ATV/UTV must be equipped with a US Forest Service tested, rated, and approved spark arrestor in working order • No Crazy Driving!

Burnett County gets tested JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

Over a dozen cars were patiently lined up Tuesday morning at the Burnett County Highway Shop. They were all waiting for a free COVID-19 test. Those over the age of 5 “with current symptoms of fever, cough, loss of taste/smell, shortness of breath, sore throat, fatigue, body aches, diarrhea, vomiting or nausea, chills, shaking with chills, or muscle aches are eligible for nasal swab testing.” The Burnett County Health

Department and COVID-19 Response Team released a statement about the goal of the testing. “We have two goals with this event: 1) Provide our communities with mass testing, allowing local healthcare providers more time to increase their testing capacity, and, 2) Give Public Health better insight into how much COVID-19 is in our communities. Following this event, we will continue to work closely with our local healthcare providers to continue building their capacity to meet patient demand.”

After the test was completed people were asked to go home and self-isolate until they receive their test results, they may also receive further guidance from Public Health at that point. This testing is part of a coordinated effort with St. Croix Tribal Health and Human Services, Polk County and Burnett County working with the National Guard to get as many Wisconsin residents tested as needed to stop the spread of the virus.
