For those looking to venture out by boat, two nearby public boat launches provide easy access to the area’s beautiful lakes and rivers. Boulder Lake Boat Landing is just a six-minute drive away, while Manitowish River Boat Landing on Dam Road is only five minutes away. With 194 lakes in this corner of Vilas County, the possibilities for boating, kayaking, canoeing, and fishing are endless. Explore Boulder Lake’s 516 acres or head to the expansive 3,864-acre Trout Lake, where breathtaking views and unforgettable sunsets await. Water’s Edge is also a fantastic destination for bikers of all ages and skill levels. Just yards from the home, you’ll find over 50 miles of paved Northwoods biking trails. Pack a picnic, hop on your bike, and enjoy a scenic ride toward Trout Lake, taking in the natural beauty along the way. In the fall, settle in and enjoy the incredible Northwoods colors. The Water’s Edge offers easy access to Boulder Junction’s festivals, art shows, miles of biking trails, and hiking paths that showcase the beauty of autumn. After a day of exploring, unwind on the three-season porch with a warm beverage or a cozy evening cocktail while soaking in the peaceful surroundings. In the winter, treat yourself to a cozy retreat with easy access to incredible snowmobiling and one-of-a-kind ice skating. The Water’s Edge is located just a few feet from 70 miles of snowmobile trails and only a mile from the unique Glide Ice Skating Ribbon. Spend your days enjoying classic Northwoods winter adventures, then return home to warm up with a hot toddy, a cup of cocoa, or your favorite warm beverage in the inviting three-season porch. Love the Northwoods experience but also want the charm and convenience of a small town? The Water’s Edge is located within walking distance of Boulder Junction. Walk across the bridge and discover everything this charming town has to offer.
