Welcome to
Rhinelander

Nestled in the heart of Wisconsin’s Northwoods, Rhinelander is home to outstanding options for outdoor recreation, friendly shops, and restaurants, and lots of stories to share. You probably know our most famous tale–who hasn’t heard of the legendary Hodag, after all?–but Rhinelander is the perfect place to add a new chapter to your own story, too. This spring, get outside and explore all that the Northwoods has to offer! Paddle the Pelican River or go fishing on one of the many scenic lakes. Spend the day hiking a local trail system. Or simply enjoy the tranquility of nature and watch for wildlife at a classic Northwoods resort. Plan your spring getaway to Rhinelander today!
