Find Yourself in the Middle of it All
On the crossroads of US Highway 8 and US Highway
63, Turtle Lake is the natural choice. With
lovely hotels and all sorts of accommodations,
Turtle Lake is the place to stay while you
play.
Hunting, fishing, ATV trails and scenic enjoyment
last all year round. For more information on hunting, fishing and ATV
trails in our area, visit the WI Department of
Natural Resources website, www.dnr.state.wi.us
The Cattail Trail runs for about
18 miles along the abandoned railroad bed from Amery
to Almena and crosses right through Turtle Lake. A
nice restroom facility and paved parking and loading
zone is located at the junction of the Cattail and
Northern Railroad Trails. Railway Park is just off
the trail and to the west of the facility. A
picnic shelter and tables are available for the
public. You will be able to find dining and other
recreational opportunities not too far from the
trail; lunch and evening specials are served
daily. The Northern Railroad Trail is
now owned and managed by Barron County, accessed in
Turtle Lake and runs for approximately 13 miles to
Cumberland, allowing access to downtown
Cumberland. The Cattail Trail and Northern
Railroad Trail are Multi-Use Trails and we ask
everyone to practice caution while utilizing these
resources.
Since Turtle Lake lies in two counties, information
for trails are available through the
Barron County Trail Coordinator
- (715) 637-4275 and the
Polk County Parks Department
- 715-485-9294. State Regulations and Guidelines are
available through the WI DNR.

WDNR - All Terrain Vehicles (ATV)
webpage.
Rustic Road 67 winds through Turtle Lake to the
north. It is located in both Barron and Polk
Counties, portions of Pine Street, 13 3/4 Avenue,
West County Line Road and 16th Avenue, which form a
loop from US 8 to US 63.
This paved Rustic Road travels for 4.6 miles and
winds through woods and wetlands, along fields and
forests, and around the edge of Skinaway Lake. This
route provides a quiet, natural, picturesque
adventure through the northwestern Wisconsin
countryside.
