Rice Lake

Rice Lake is a hub for great outdoor adventure. On the water, boat, fish, and paddle dozens of area lakes. On land, the 104-mile Wild Rivers State Trail and the 74-mile Tuscobia State Trail offer incredible ATVing and snowmobiling. Hikers and mountain bikers will love exploring the scenic Blue Hills Trail System.  Birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts will want to visit the Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary. The Rice Lake area also offers seven excellent golf courses. A re-creation of what life in this beautiful region was like during the logging era is displayed at the Pioneer Village Museum, just south of Rice Lake. The Red Barn Theatre and the Northern Star Theatre offer delightful community theater performances.
