FTL#7 - Northwoods Basecamp Across from Fishtrap Lake | 11 Acres Bordering National Forest

If you’ve been searching for the kind of property you can camp on now and hunt for years to come, this 11-acre wooded parcel in the Township of Winter delivers the classic Sawyer County setup: gently rolling terrain, a beautiful mix of hardwoods and evergreens (fir, poplar/white poplar, maple, oak, birch), and the rare bonus of being directly across the street from Fishtrap Lake—with the public boat landing only moments away.

And for hunters, the big advantage is right at the boundary line: the parcel borders thousands of acres of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, giving you the “buy 11 and hunt way more” experience without having to trailer anywhere.

Property highlights:

- 11 acres of rolling, wooded Northwoods terrain—great for a private camp setup and stand locations

- Hardwoods + evergreens for cover, diversity, and strong wildlife habitat

- Borders National Forest land for expanded hunting, hiking, and exploring

- Across from Fishtrap Lake for easy fishing, boating, and evening campfire views

Fishtrap Lake: quick access to fishing and boating

Fishtrap Lake is a 263-acre Sawyer County lake with a public boat landing and fishing for muskie, walleye, northern pike, largemouth bass, and panfish. Whether you’re a dawn-patrol angler or you just want to paddle and explore shoreline after a hunt, having the water literally across the road is a major quality-of-life upgrade.

Recreation around Winter: four-season Northwoods fun

The Winter area is built for people who want to stay outdoors year-round—think hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, and ATV/UTV riding, plus endless backroads and public-land exploring. Nearby, the Flambeau River State Forest has 55 miles of snowmobile trails that connect into the Sawyer County trail system and the Tuscobia State Trail. Trail maps for Sawyer County’s snowmobile and ATV/UTV routes are also readily available online and in print.

Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest: hunt, roam, and camp big country

The Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest covers more than 1.5 million acres across northern Wisconsin (including Sawyer County), offering year-round recreation—from hunting and hiking to motorized trail riding and campgrounds. Dispersed camping is allowed in many areas, subject to Forest rules (including length-of-stay limits).

If you want an affordable, no-nonsense Northwoods hunting and camping property with lake access across the road and National Forest at your doorstep, this one checks the boxes. Reach out to get the details and schedule a time to walk the land.
