|
The Town of Spider Lake, comprised of three adjacent civil townships, is located in the upper northeastern corner of Sawyer County, Wisconsin (abutting Bayfield County to the north and Ashland County to the east). Chequamegon National and County Forest land make up more than half of the town's 108 square miles, and the numerous lakes (almost 100) cover nearly another 9 square miles (with 109 lineal miles of lake shoreline). In view of these characteristics, it comes as no surprise that Spider Lake is considered to be Wisconsin's Northwoods. |

Because of its abundant natural beauty, the Town of Spider Lake continues to be the preferred vacation destination of many city dwellers wishing to temporarily escape from their urban lifestyles. There are several resorts located within the town, and the percentage of seasonal housing units continues to rise (the 2000 Census identified nearly 75% of the total housing units as seasonal).While the majority of tourists visit Spider Lake during the summer months, the town offers both picturesque scenery and outdoor activities year round. In fact, the American Birkebeiner trail passes straight through the town. All in all, it's no wonder why the primary goal of Spider Lake is maintaining its Northwoods Character.
