Mosquito Lake State Park

State park 39mi from Lake Tomahawk · 25 sites
Whomever named Mosquito Lake Park obviously didn't understand good PR, but don't let the name discourage you. Nearly 2,500 acres of marshes and woodlands create a beautiful ambiance for your next getaway in Mother Nature. Stroll along one of two trails in the park, where robins and warblers tucked behind purple cresses and beech-maple trees may just move you to tears, or at least to write a haiku. Floating devices of just about every variety are invited to channel the 7,850 lake, and areas like a dog park means Fido is more than welcome on the scene. We doubt the mosquitos will be much of a problem, but if worse comes to worse, you can just light some of those good-smelling candles or load up on the catnip (look it up!) to fend off potential itchy bites.

Soak in the history at Portage Lakes State Park, where an old Indian portage path signified this area as an important trading spot back in the day. Wild cranberries and tamarack trees scatter along the boggy areas of the park, and a forest of beech maple means spotting the occasional white-tailed deer or raccoon. Boat around the network of eight lakes or fish and swim to your heart's content. Four different hiking trails, volleyball courts, and a disc golfing will keep that Greek God(dess) body of yours in perfect form. With winter activities like ice boating and snowmobiling, we highly recommend a chilly pilgrimage to these hallowed grounds as well.
