SCW#4 - Wooded Northwoods Retreat Near Danbury — Your Basecamp for Year-Round Recreation! - (Dairyland, Douglas County - $39,900)

If you have been searching for a private piece of Wisconsin’s Northwoods where you can hunt, explore, relax, and eventually build a cabin or recreational retreat, this 5.4 acre wooded parcel in Douglas County deserves a closer look. Located approximately 20 minutes from Danbury and about one hour from Duluth, the property offers a peaceful rural setting within easy reach of shopping, supplies, dining, and some of northwestern Wisconsin’s best outdoor recreation.

 

A Beautiful and Diverse Wooded Setting

The property features an attractive mixture of mature hardwoods, birch and aspen, scattered evergreens, and pockets of younger growth. Large, established trees provide a classic Northwoods atmosphere, while the younger timber and thicker understory create valuable privacy and natural cover for wildlife.

The land has gently rolling terrain with grassy openings, fern-covered areas, and a forest floor that ranges from open and park-like beneath the mature trees to thicker pockets of brush and regeneration. This combination of mature timber, young growth, and natural edge habitat gives the property excellent recreational character and makes it well suited for hunting, wildlife watching, hiking, or simply enjoying your own private woods.

 

Surrounded by Four-Season Recreation

 

Douglas County is one of Wisconsin’s premier destinations for outdoor enthusiasts. The Douglas County Forest encompasses more than 280,000 acres and is the largest county forest in Wisconsin, providing extensive opportunities for hunting, hiking, wildlife viewing, and exploring the Northwoods.

Trail riders will also appreciate the county’s extensive recreational trail system. Douglas County maintains approximately 300 miles of multiple-use trails, including more than 100 miles of maintained summer ATV trails and more than 300 miles of groomed winter snowmobile and ATV trails. Additional opportunities are available for hiking, mountain biking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, horseback riding, and nature viewing.

The Danbury area provides convenient access to the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, where outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy canoeing, kayaking, boating, fishing, hiking, and wildlife watching along more than 200 miles of protected river corridor. The Gandy Dancer State Trail also passes through Danbury and is a popular regional route for bicycling, ATV riding, and snowmobiling where designated and seasonally permitted.

Douglas County is filled with lakes, rivers, forests, and public recreation areas offering opportunities for fishing, boating, swimming, hunting, and paddling. Farther north, the Brule River State Forest protects the entire 44-mile length of the Bois Brule River and is widely known for trout fishing, canoeing, kayaking, hunting, hiking, and access to the North Country National Scenic Trail and Lake Superior shoreline.

For a scenic day trip, Pattison State Park features Wisconsin’s tallest waterfall—the 165-foot Big Manitou Falls—along with hiking trails, camping, a swimming beach, and additional waterfalls. Amnicon Falls State Park offers another spectacular series of waterfalls and rapids surrounded by wooded walking trails. With Duluth and the Lake Superior waterfront approximately one hour away, the property also provides access to even more recreation, entertainment, restaurants, and shopping.
