1.9 Acres Across from Fishtrap Lake & Backing National Forest

Finding buildable Northwoods land that truly checks all the boxes has become increasingly difficult in today’s recreational property market. Buyers are searching for privacy, lake access, public land, trail systems, and long-term value—yet very few properties offer all of those features together in one affordable package. Lot 1 on Log Lodge Road near Winter is one of those rare opportunities. This beautifully wooded 1.9-acre parcel sits in the heart of Sawyer County, directly across the road from the public boat landing on Fishtrap Lake while the entire back boundary of the property adjoins thousands of acres of public land within the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. It is an incredibly difficult combination to find: lake access in front and endless forest behind. For buyers looking for a true “Up North” experience, this property immediately stands apart from the competition. Fishtrap Lake Access Just Steps Away One of the strongest features of this property is its proximity to Fishtrap Lake. The public boat landing sits directly across the road, allowing you to launch your boat, kayak, or canoe within minutes of arriving at the property. Fishtrap Lake is known throughout the area for excellent recreational opportunities and quality fishing for musky, walleye, northern pike, bass, and panfish. Properties near quality fishing lakes continue to remain in high demand throughout Northern Wisconsin, especially those offering easy public access without the premium price tag of waterfront taxes. Here, you can enjoy the benefits of the lake while still maintaining privacy and affordability. Morning fishing trips, evening boat rides, and relaxing weekends at the lake become part of everyday life at this location. National Forest Right Out Your Back Door While the front of the property offers lake access, the rear boundary provides something equally valuable—direct connection to public forest land. The entire back line of Lot 1 borders the National Forest, giving you immediate access to thousands of acres for hunting, hiking, exploring, berry picking, wildlife watching, and trail riding. Instead of driving to public land, you simply walk out your back door and into it. This feature alone makes the property extremely attractive to outdoor enthusiasts, hunters, and buyers seeking privacy and long-term recreational enjoyment. Large blocks of public land in this area create excellent wildlife habitat, and the signs of deer and other wildlife throughout the region are impressive. Combined with the nearby water sources and wooded cover, this area consistently attracts sportsmen and outdoor recreation buyers from throughout Wisconsin and the Twin Cities region. Recreation in Every Direction Sawyer County is one of Northern Wisconsin’s most recreation-rich destinations, and this property places you in the middle of it all. In addition to Fishtrap Lake, the legendary Chippewa Flowage is only a short drive away. Widely recognized as one of Wisconsin’s finest wilderness lakes, the Flowage spans roughly 15,000 acres and offers world-class boating, fishing, scenery, and wildlife habitat. The area is also heavily known for its ATV/UTV and snowmobile trail systems. Hundreds of miles of connected trails wind throughout Sawyer County and the surrounding forestlands, allowing for year-round riding opportunities directly from the area. Whether your interests include: Fishing Hunting Trail riding Snowmobiling Hiking Camping Wildlife photography Cabin life Relaxing weekends away from the city …this property places all of it within reach. A True Northwoods Setting The land itself features mature woods, natural privacy, and a peaceful Northwoods atmosphere that immediately stands out when you walk the property. The setting feels secluded and quiet, while still offering year-round road access and easy accessibility from nearby communities. Unlike many small vacant lots that feel crowded or exposed, Lot 1 benefits from both the adjacent National Forest and the heavily wooded setting, creating the feeling of a much larger property. The property is well suited for: A future cabin Recreational camping Hunting basecamp Seasonal getaway Full-time residence Long-term land investment Buy With Confidence Vacant land buyers often worry about uncertainty: Is it buildable? Are the boundaries clear? Is there legal access? Is the title clean? Lot 1 helps eliminate those concerns. The property has been recently surveyed and is guaranteed buildable. The seller is also providing: Warranty deed Title insurance Clearly identifiable boundaries Year-round road access This added confidence is a major advantage in today’s land market. Northern Wisconsin Recreational Land Remains in Demand Over the past several years, demand for buildable recreational land throughout Northern Wisconsin has remained exceptionally strong. Buyers continue searching for properties near public land, lakes, and trail systems—especially within a reasonable drive from the Twin Cities. Inventory with direct National Forest adjacency is becoming increasingly limited, particularly in locations offering nearby lake access and year-round recreation. That is what makes Lot 1 unique. This is not simply a wooded lot. It is a recreational basecamp with direct access to two of the most important things Northwoods buyers want: Water Public land And it offers both at an approachable price point. The Opportunity At $36,900, Lot 1 represents an increasingly rare chance to secure buildable land near Winter, Wisconsin with: Fishtrap Lake access National Forest boundary Trail access Mature woods Privacy Recreational opportunities in every direction Properties combining these features do not stay available long, particularly when buyers realize they can fish in front of the property and hunt or hike directly out the back. If you have been waiting for the right Northwoods property to build your cabin, establish your hunting basecamp, or simply own a piece of Northern Wisconsin recreational land, Lot 1 deserves your attention.
