Forest County and its near neighbors are aptly named, for they encompass 650,000 acres of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. The forest is home to some of Wisconsin’s finest wilderness, as well as some very fine attractions. The Sokaogon Band of Lake Superior Chippewa live on a small reservation at Mole Lake, just south of Crandon. The tribe operates the Mole Lake Casinos offering blackjack and slot machine action. Just east of Crandon, at Laona, old-fashioned steam train rides are available at the Lumberjack Special and Camp Five Museum. The complex also offers pontoon rides, surrey rides, an animal corral and nature center, and turn-of-the-century country store. Lakewood, in northern Oconto County, preserves its lumbering past at the Holt & Balcom Logging Camp.
