Outdoor Activities & Attractions
Rondele Ranch is located in the heart of Wisconsin’s Northwoods, the perfect place for outdoor adventures any time of the year. Hikers and bikers can enjoy routes like the Bearskin Trail (which runs along the north side of our property), and kayakers and canoers can rent watercraft or use Rondele Ranch’s own kayaks to explore our 2-acre pond as well as nearby lakes and waterways. Anglers and pontoon boaters can explore Oneida County’s vast lakes—it’s home to one of the largest concentrations of freshwater in the world—and winter enthusiasts will find easy access to great trails for snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing.
