Family

Bring your family to Musky Tale Resort for terrific fishing, and for the unique sights and activities in Hayward. This is the home of the National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame, featuring a giant walk-through musky; there’s also an amusement park, a 35-acre animal farm and championship golf.

Fishing

Upstream or on the lake, whether you’re going for bass, northern, musky, crappie or panfish, the fishing at Musky Tale Resort is fantastic. The heavy weed pockets, warm-water bays and sunken wood structures and brush piles create areas where fish thrive and excitement for anglers of all abilities.

Hunting

As terrific as it is for fishing, in the fall Musky Tale Resort transforms into an equally great place for hunters. It is adjacent to thousands of acres of public land, perfect for grouse, deer and bear hunting; guides are available.

Lake

The Musky Tale rests where the West Fork feeds the Lake Chippewa Flowage, which is Wisconsin’s third-largest lake and one of its most pristine. Surrounded by preserved wilderness, this lake is as ideal for fishing and watersports as it is for boat cruising, wildlife watching and simply relaxing.

Nature

The Chippewa Flowage is surrounded by preserved wilderness, and it’s as much a haven for wildlife as it is for your finest getaway. You’re likely to see loons, herons and bald eagles, as well as deer, beaver and snowshoe rabbit; black bear, coyote and bobcat are rarer but can be seen on occasion.
