Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest - Park Falls Ranger District

The Park Falls Ranger District office at 1170 4th Avenue South is the starting point for the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest in this corner of Wisconsin. Stop in for maps, trail conditions, camping permits and local knowledge before heading into more than a million and a half acres of public land.

The district manages roughly 300,000 acres with more than 100 miles of hiking trails, dozens of remote campsites and hundreds of miles of ATV and snowmobile trails. The Penokee Mountains trail system, about 20 minutes east, offers ridge-top hiking. In winter the forest grooms more than 50 miles of cross-country ski trails, including the Timberland Trail just outside town. Dispersed camping, berry picking and foraging are permitted; check with the ranger station for current rules.
