In the summer, picture yourself floating peacefully in an inner tube, basking in the sun, or taking advantage of the Resort's boat rentals; fishing boats, pontoon boats, kayaks, or canoes. Bring your own boat; enjoy the wind rush by as you ski or wakeboard the glassy waters of the world famous Eagle River Chain. We have plenty of free docking available. Available at nearby marinas, are speedboats and personal watercraft for rent.

If golfing is your passion, take advantage of one of our 16 nearby courses within an hour's drive. Several 9-hole courses as well as 18-hole courses are available. 200 feet away is the closest golf course bordering on Lake Voyageur. Whether it's summer, spring, or fall, hop on a bicycle and explore our countless miles of paved back roads or go off-roading through the nearby Nicolet National Forest. Play tennis on our lakeside court. Enjoy a game of basketball, or beach volleyball. OR, just sit quietly, observe nature at its finest; from soaring eagles, to frolicking chipmunks, or playful otters. A great variety of songbirds make their home in our forests, as well as Woodpeckers, Mallards, Great Blue Herons and the Loon family that can be seen and heard on nearly every lake. Don't forget that stargazing is at its finest here with clear skies. And, if you're particularly observant, you will be thrilled to enjoy the Northern Lights putting on their colorful display.

Speaking of color, fall is an amazingly beautiful time of year to visit the Chanticleer. Indian Summer, as some call it, presents magnificent color and is sure to entice the "camera hunter" in you, while crisp air and crunchy leaves underfoot are sure to bring back memories of days gone by. Enjoy the present and take in the scenery as you stroll, jog, or bike down our back roads and forest trails... take in the scent of wildflowers and fragrant pines.

Chanticleer is known for winter fun for the whole family! Skiing, snowmobiling, ice fishing, sledding, snow shoeing are available right outside our door. In fact, the snowmobile trail groomer turns around in our driveway, and lays out a smooth white sheet of trail for over 500 miles of exciting terrain in the Eagle River area. Did you know Chanticleer is the birthplace of the famous World Championship Snowmobile Derby? Dollar Lake was the site of the 1st two Derbies. Excellent downhill ski areas are between 30 min. and just over an hour away. Enjoy our own 40 acres of beautiful woods and trails for sledding, cross country skiing, or snow-shoeing. Try Dollar Lake for ice fishing, or venture out into the other beautiful woodland areas and lakes in our county. Exciting hockey games are abundant for the sport enthusiast just a couple miles down the road at the famed historical Eagle River "domed" Ice Arena.

There is nothing like the quiet beauty of the Northwoods as snow is falling gently to the earth. After a day of fun, come sit and relax by the fireplace in our cozy cocktail lounge in the Main Lodge. Sip warm beverages; enjoy Chef Gary's wonderful food in our Restaurant and exchange tales of the day's adventures!
