Options for Spring Entertainment in Rhinelander
Rhinelander’s weather is finally starting to turn the corner. As the snow melts and the days grow longer, the Northwoods comes back to life in a whole new way. Whether you’re looking to get active or simply soak in the scenery, spring is a perfect time to explore. Here are some favorite ways to enjoy the season in the Rhinelander area.
Biking
Both mountain and road bikers can enjoy a peaceful ride through Rhinelander’s quiet forests and scenic roadways. As the landscape transitions into spring, you’ll find fresh air, budding trees, and miles of routes to explore. It’s a relaxing way to take in the beauty of the Northwoods at your own pace.
Birdwatching
Spring migration makes this one of the best times of year for birding. Grab your binoculars and head out to spot species like pileated woodpeckers, ruffed grouse, loons, and bald eagles. Rhinelander’s county trails—like Almon Lake, Enterprise, Nose Lake, and Washburn Lake—offer peaceful settings and excellent viewing opportunities.
Golfing
Tee off surrounded by classic Northwoods scenery. Rhinelander’s golf courses pair lush greens with towering pines and the chance to spot wildlife along the fairways. Spend a relaxing afternoon at Northwood Golf Club, Pinewood Golf Club, or Rhinelander Country Club as the season gets underway.
Hiking
Step into spring on Rhinelander’s many scenic trails. There’s no shortage of places to explore. Watch as the forest floor comes alive with new growth and enjoy the peacefulness before the busy summer season arrives.
Fishing Opener Prep
With the fishing opener traditionally being the first weekend in May, spring is all about getting ready for the season ahead. Organize your gear, check your boat, and plan your favorite spots so you’re ready to go when opening day arrives—one of the most anticipated traditions in the Northwoods.
Paddling
As ice melts and rivers begin to flow, early-season paddling becomes a quiet and rewarding experience. Kayak or canoe along area lakes and rivers for a peaceful outing surrounded by budding shoreline and returning wildlife.
