The original 9-hole golf course, developed in 1923 by Frank Stout, was fashioned after the St. Andrew in Scotland. Tagalong was improved to 18 holes several years ago and today has developed into a beautiful and challenging course you won’t want to miss when you come to Birchwood. Many other golf courses are within a short drive and you could easily play a different course each day of your stay.

The Tuscobia Trail was a railroad right-of-way but when the railroad removed the tracks, it became very popular to snowmobilers, hikers, bikers and more recently, ATVers.

Maps are available in Birchwood for both the Tuscobia and adjoining trails by the snowmobile club and the ATV club. Maps are also available for the Ice Age Trail. Northwestern Wisconsin is famous for the fall color tour. Begin by reserving accommodations in Birchwood and tour the many Rustic Roads and enjoy the color.

But Birchwood hasn’t always been a tourist haven. Northwestern Wisconsin was first logged on a grand scale after 1868 by familiar names as Knapp, Stout and Company. Large stands of second and third growth woods are still prevalent which are home to a vast wildlife population, and Bald Eagles are frequently seen fishing the many lakes. Occasionally, you will see one swoop down and grab the unsuspecting Walleye or Northern. Hunting in the fall is very popular, as the deer herd is very large in Northwestern Wisconsin. Popular game birds include Mallard duck, Partridge, Roughed Grouse and more. Also, bird watching is quite popular in the area and Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary is close-by and open to those who are interested in the wilderness experience. So plan to spend your next vacation at Birchwood. You’ll be glad you did.
