Winter has arrived in Eagle River, Wisconsin and with it the hopes of hundreds of hockey players from all over the world to a small lake in the heart of The Snowmobile Capitol of the World.

Eagle River, Wisconsin is host to the USA International Pond Hockey Tournament during the second weekend in Feburary each year.  It is an event that is just as much fun for the casual observer that may arrive by snowmobile or truck, as it is for the players that participate on the dozens of rinks that are plowed out side-by-side on Dollar Lake.

Every once in awhile you happen to come across something pretty interesting when taking a boat cruise through the world's largest chain of lakes in Eagle River, Wisconsin.  A few weeks ago we were lucky enough to see an amphibious vehicle cruising Duck Lake.  We thought it would be fun to share this moment with all of you - Not something you see everyday!

Wakesurfing 101 in Eagle River, Wisconsin.  Wakesurfing, a water sport similiar to wakeboarding, is where a "surfer" trails behind a boat, surfing the boat's wake without being directly attached to the boat by a rope.  The wake from the boat mimics the look and feel of an actual ocean wave!

If you're in Eagle River, WI this summer try canoeing the Deerskin River located at the mouth of Scattering Rice Lake & just a few hundred yards down shore from our Island View I and Island View II vacation rental homes. You can paddle up river into the national forest while enjoying the wildlife & clear waters. Then turn around, sit back & ride the current all the way back down!
