Welcome to the Home of the Hodag!
Rhinelander isn’t just a great place for your next sporting event, it’s also home to its own world-famous resident: The Hodag. First “discovered” in the woods of northern Wisconsin in the late 1800s, the Hodag has since become a proud symbol of the community and serves as the mascot for Rhinelander High School.

The Hodag’s fame has stretched well beyond the Rhinelander Area—plan your next sporting event in Rhinelander and meet this Northwoods legend for yourself!
