Nicolet-Wolf River Scenic Byway

Fall in Love with the Byway and experience a sense of place, where the people and nature are authentic. The Nicolet-Wolf River Scenic Byway is located in the heart of the majestic Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest and home to the headwaters of the pristine Wolf River. Savor the 145-mile route that winds through Wisconsin’s northern counties including Forest, Langlade, Oneida and Vilas. Here you’ll discover life moves at a refreshingly slower pace and centers around time-honored traditions and values. Enjoy beautiful scenery dotted with majestic vistas, serpentine roads and family owned businesses that serve up hometown hospitality. Experience a rich blend of culture at Native American powwows, Polish Heritage Days, Kentuck Day and more. Listen for the peaceful sounds of wildlife: loons waking with the lake’s early morning fog, owls calling in the quiet of a moonlit night or the rustle of leaves as you cross paths with a whitetail deer. Discover a unique blend of attractions amid the serene scenes: gaming, entertainment, restaurants, shopping, trails and other outdoor adventures that make this area a favorite of all ages.
