Watersmeet and Land O'Lakes

Situated in the heart of Ottawa National Forest, Watersmeet, MI and Land O’Lakes, WI boast access to one of the Upper Midwest’s premier outdoor recreation areas. Nicknamed “Waterfall Country,” Ottawa National Forest and the surrounding area are home to more than fifteen waterfalls and an abundance of spring-fed lakes and rivers. But that’s not all: more than 270 miles of shoreline in the Cisco Chain of lakes; Lac Vieux Desert, the 4,200 acre headwaters of the Wisconsin River; and three wilderness areas–Sylvania, McCormick and Sturgeon River Gorge–all make this region a paddler’s paradise. With canoeing, kayaking, fishing, camping, mountain biking, hunting and even horseback riding on the agenda, Watersmeet and Land O’Lakes are perfect as supply stops before heading out to Sylvania or as a vacation destination of their own.
