My bf and I went up to Minocqua for a mini-getaway weekend. He went snowboarding up at Indian Head,…read morebut I decided to just stay in the cabin. Tumbling down a mountain and breaking limbs really isn't my thing. However, our cabin had a flyer for the winter park nearby and they had tubing! Well, hell, I can do that! It was a long and winding road to get to the park but it was a nice, scenic drive. I was so excited when I saw the giant hill! I've never gone down a hill that big! We went inside the building to buy our tubing ticket, which was about $12 bucks for people over 18. Once we paid, we went out and grabbed one of the many inner tubes sitting outside. Tip: pick one with a pad on the inside, otherwise you'll set yourself up for some major discomfort. The best part of this was that they have a pulley system to take you up the hill. No more dragging your tube up a hill and being exhausted by the time you get up, that you only go up and down three times before you're done for the day. Sure, that may sound lazy, but I'm not 10 anymore. I don't have that kind of energy these days. You take the tube handle, hand it to a dude, and sit your happy butt down in the tube. The attendant will hitch you up and up you go on a three minute ride to the top. There's a couple guys up at the top who are there to let you know when you can go down, and they'll assist you with whatever crazy way you want to go down. The guys were really cool, joking around the whole time but were really helpful. There was a family in front of us wanting to do strange formations and they helped them set it up. They even spun me around a few times. I didn't think they would do that! The ride down is really exhilarating. I advise wearing a scarf around your face because you'll get wind burn pretty good and a bunch of snow in your face. You can also go down pretty fast. Luckily there is a plastic mesh fence at the end to stop you from going further than you should, and the hill slopes so that if you start to go toward the trees, you'll curve back in. On our last run, my bf made us go totally straight and we slammed into the fence, almost knocking it down. Apparently, that's an accomplishment for tubers! Tubing isn't all they have here. The main attraction is probably the cross country skiing. They have tons of trails with varying levels of difficulty. If we had a whole day, and some lessons, we'd definitely try it because the trails look great. The indoor area is great too. They have several benches and tables to rest at and a food/drink area where they serve beer! Mincoqua beer to be exact. $2.50 for a 10 oz glass of beer. What a great way to end the day! If I'm ever back during the winter, I'll definitely be making a stop to this park. You'll have a blast!

(Bagley Rapids Campground)…read more One of the best campgrounds in the state, in my opinion. This is a semi-wilderness campground, and that's why I love it so much. No electricity is provided, something I love about this place, but you can pump fresh water from the well, and outhouse toilets are on site. The best sites are along the river, but only a few of them offer any real privacy or seclusion. Site 21 has the thickest surrounding vegetation and offers the best privacy of any site along the river. However, if being on the river is not as important to you as it is to some, the sites along the back loops offer the most privacy, and most people choose not to use those sites. On more than one occasion I arrived to find all the river sites full and had to stay in one of the back sites. Most of the time I was the only camper in the back loop, giving me the ultimate feeling of being truly alone. The rapids offer some great swimming in certain areas, but fishing on the river doesn't offer much. I also wouldn't recommend floating down the river, especially not along the campsites. There are areas along the river that are potentially very dangerous or deadly if you are not a good swimmer, so I advise caution at all times. Bagley also offers some fantastic hiking trails for those of you who love to be out in the thick of it. I would advise against wearing shorts if you decide to hike through any part of the forest that is not a trail. Poison oak and poison ivy are everywhere. If you are looking for an extremely peaceful and relaxing camping trip, one where you're not surrounded by campers, RV's, and loud annoying music, then I highly recommend giving this place a try.

Bait and switch - Avoid. We recently booked a tee time for…read moretwo people for nine holes at Trout Lake. We've played the course many times and enjoy it. This was our last trip to Trout Lake. We booked online and confirmed at a price of $50. As you can see in the attached picture, it shows $50 due at course. When we arrived at the course they told us the price went up that very day and they would not honor our confirmed price of $50, but instead would have to pay $90 if we wanted to golf. They understood we booked for $50, but they would not honor it, due to their new "dynamic pricing". The second picture explains that. This isn't about the money. This is about the principle. What if our hotel did that? We book for $100 per night, and when we get there they tell us the price went up and it would be $200? Dynamic pricing sounds a lot like surge pricing for Uber. The major difference, Uber is clear you're paying surge pricing up front. They don't quote you at a $50 ride and when the driver pulls up says, "just kidding, that will be $90". If you want to avoid a bait and switch, avoid Trout Lake Golf Club.

Great golf course. Disappointing customer service…read more We played a round on 07/22/24. Unbeknownst to us, the course is undergoing a massive renovation project and several of the holes were significantly shortened due to the renovation work. No mention of this on their website. Staff only mentioned some renovation work AFTER we had paid. Even though we did not get to experience the entire course (courtesy of several of the holes having temporary tees in the fairway, in each case, about 150 to 200 yards ahead of where the tee boxes normally are), we paid full price. When we called to complain, they told us all tees and greens are accessible (a false statement) and no discount would be offered. Golf courses typically provide advance notice of greens being aerated and usually offer a discount when greens are aerated. Any course (other than Trout Lake, apparently), will most definitely provide its customers with advance notice of massive renovation work and offer a discount. Trout Valley apparently has no problem pulling a bait and switch on its customers - this was an unfortunate experience. Sadly, we will not return. It's a great course, but customer service is an afterthought.
