Manitowish Waters, Wisconsin is truly a vacation paradise in Wisconsin's Northwoods. The Lake Superior Chippewa Indians were the first people to have an impact on this beautiful area. Establishing a camp on the east shore of Manitowish Lake, they made sugar, fished, raised corn, picked berries and buried their dead in the area. Today, the Manitowish Waters area is the ideal spot to "get away from it all." Located in Northwestern Vilas County in Wisconsin's Northwoods, Manitowish Waters is known for its quiet, less stressful surroundings perfect for a family vacation, reunion, romantic getaway, hunting or fishing excursion, or leisure day trip. With a year 'round population of roughly 670, Manitowish Waters sees quite an increase throughout the seasons from a combination of seasonal residents, second home owners and vacationers. The area takes pride in offering a fantastic selection of first class restaurants with unique cuisine choices to satisfy every taste. Whatever your preference, relax in a bed & breakfast, American Plan, resort cottage, private home, motel or campground. Quaint shops invite you to browse for special gifts, distinctive clothing, intricate original artwork, Northwoods decor, something for the kids or cranberry-related items. All the conveniences of home are also available to make your stay complete.

Some of the finest outdoor recreation in Northern Wisconsin can be experienced in the Manitowish Waters area. Our beautiful chain of lakes provides a unique connection of 10 pristine water bodies linked by navigable channels. With over 4,200 acres, the chain is perfect for leisure boating, watersports, and fishing. Speaking of fishing, the chain and numerous other bodies of water throughout the area offer incredible fishing opportunities in search of panfish, bass, walleye, northern, crappie and the ever-challenging musky (Manitowish Waters is "Home of the Tiger Musky"). And the fishing doesn't stop when the lakes freeze! The Manitowish River offers breathtaking seclusion while canoeing, kayaking or tubing.
