Hayward, WI at a Glance
Located in Wisconsin's northwoods
country, Hayward is known for its year-round outdoor recreation. Perhaps the most
famous event in the area is the Subaru
American Birkebeiner, one of the largest cross-country ski races in North
America. This event, known as the Birkie to locals, traces a 32 mi (51 km) route
from Hayward to nearby Cable
each February, drawing up to 9,000 skiers from across the continent. Other outdoor
opportunities available in the area include golfing, boating and fishing in the
summer months and snowmobiling in the winter. The nearby Lynch
Creek State Wildlife Area and Totagatic
Lake Wildlife Area offer visitors plenty of northwoods hiking, biking and
birdwatching for native species like swallows, warblers and great blue heron.
A number of indoor attractions are on offer here as well, including casinos, theaters
and the National
Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame, which displays various fishing artifacts
and mounted fish.
