FTL#1 - 1.9 Acres Across from Fishtrap Lake, Bordering National Forest (Winter, WI) - $36,500

Tucked into Wisconsin’s Northwoods, this 1.9-acre wooded parcel in the Township of Winter offers the kind of setting that works equally well for a future country home, a seasonal cabin, or a private campsite retreat. The land is beautifully wooded with a mix of evergreens and hardwoods including oak, maple, poplar, and birch, giving the property the privacy, shade, and classic up-north character buyers are looking for. Best of all, this parcel sits directly across the street from Fishtrap Lake, is walkable to the public boat landing, and borders thousands of acres of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest—giving you an uncommon blend of private ownership and immediate access to big public land.

Fishtrap Lake adds a huge lifestyle advantage to this property. The lake is about 263 acres, has public boat access, and is known for fishing opportunities that include musky, walleye, northern pike, largemouth bass, and panfish. That means you can spend your mornings launching the boat, your evenings casting from nearby access, or simply enjoying the lake setting without needing to drive across the county to get on the water.

The Winter area is a true four-season recreation basecamp. The Flambeau River State Forest has its headquarters right in Winter and surrounds about 75 miles of the North and South Forks of the Flambeau River. It offers paddling, fishing, hiking, ATV and snowmobile trails, family campgrounds, and winter trail use including skiing and snowshoeing. For buyers who want more than just a parcel of land, this is the kind of area where you can build a home or camp setup and actually use it in every season.

You’re also only about 40 minutes from Hayward, one of the Northwoods’ best-known recreation hubs. Hayward gives you easy access to the American Birkebeiner trail system for hiking, skiing, and snowshoeing, along with the CAMBA trail network for mountain biking, fat biking, trail running, and gravel riding. Add in Hayward’s lakes, shops, restaurants, events, and year-round outdoor culture, and this property becomes more than a quiet place in the woods—it becomes a base for the full Northwoods lifestyle.

Whether you’re looking for a peaceful place to build, a weekend campsite close to the lake, or a Northwoods getaway with room to roam into adjoining National Forest, this Winter property is set up to check a lot of boxes. Parcels with lake access nearby and National Forest at the boundary line are getting harder to find—especially in an area with this much four-season recreation.
