Across from Fishtrap Lake. Backing the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest.

If you’ve been searching for a Northwoods property that delivers both immediate recreational access and long-term value, this 1.9-acre parcel on Log Lodge Road near Winter deserves serious consideration. Now back on the market, this property presents a rare opportunity to secure a piece of land that combines two of the most sought-after features in Northern Wisconsin real estate: direct proximity to a quality fishing lake and a boundary that connects directly to public forest. Positioned across the road from the boat landing on Fishtrap Lake, this property offers convenient access to one of the area’s well-known recreational lakes. Fishtrap Lake spans approximately 216 acres and is recognized for its excellent fishing opportunities, including musky, walleye, northern pike, bass, and panfish. Having a public landing so close to your property eliminates the need for long drives or complicated access—simply hook up your boat and be on the water within minutes. While the front of the property offers access to the lake, the back of the parcel provides something equally valuable: direct adjacency to the vast Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. This connection effectively expands your usable space beyond the boundaries of your own acreage. From your back line, you can step directly into thousands of acres of public land for hunting, hiking, wildlife observation, and exploring. This combination—lake access in front and public forest behind—is not only rare, but highly desirable among buyers looking for a true Northwoods experience. It creates a setting where recreation is not something you drive to—it’s something you walk into. The property itself is wooded with mature trees, offering natural privacy and a classic Northwoods feel. The terrain provides flexibility for building, camping, or simply enjoying the land as a seasonal getaway. Whether your goal is to construct a cabin, establish a hunting basecamp, or secure a long-term recreational investment, this parcel supports a wide range of uses. Another key advantage is the level of certainty that comes with the property. The land has been surveyed and is guaranteed buildable, a significant benefit in a market where buyers often face uncertainty regarding soil conditions, zoning, and usability. In addition, the seller is providing a warranty deed and title insurance, ensuring a clean and secure transaction. The surrounding area of Sawyer County is widely known for its outdoor recreation. In addition to Fishtrap Lake, the region offers access to numerous other lakes, rivers, and trail systems. ATV/UTV and snowmobile routes are easily accessible, allowing for year-round enjoyment of the property. The nearby Chippewa Flowage—one of the largest and most scenic wilderness lakes in the state—provides additional boating and fishing opportunities just a short drive away. Despite the property’s secluded feel, it remains conveniently located near the town of Winter, where you’ll find essential services, dining, and supplies. This balance of accessibility and privacy is a key reason why this area continues to attract buyers from the Twin Cities, Chicago, and throughout the Midwest. At a price of $36,900, this property represents a compelling value for buyers seeking land in a high-demand recreational area. As available inventory of buildable land near lakes and public forest continues to decline, opportunities like this become increasingly difficult to replace. Whether you are planning to build, camp, hunt, or simply hold land for future use, this parcel offers a strong combination of location, access, and assurance.
