When planning a getaway to the Northwoods, it’s easy to imagine days filled with endless outdoor adventures, cozy evenings by the fire, and the chance to finally step away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
At Nitschke's Northern Resort, located on the serene shores of Lake Minocqua, we offer the perfect blend of comfort and wilderness. While we do provide all the modern amenities you could need, such as Wi-Fi and cable TV in every cabin, we believe that a trip "up north" is the ideal opportunity to unplug from technology and truly reconnect with nature and your loved ones.
The Benefits of Disconnecting
In today’s fast-paced world, we are constantly surrounded by screens, notifications, and the demands of our digital lives. While technology has its perks, it can also create a barrier between us and the natural world.
Unplugging from devices and immersing ourselves in nature has numerous benefits. Studies have shown that spending time outdoors can reduce stress, boost creativity, and improve mental clarity.
For families, this time together without the distraction of technology can lead to deeper connections and shared memories that last a lifetime.
Embrace the Outdoors: Activities to Help You Unplug
Minocqua, Wisconsin, is a nature lover’s paradise, offering countless opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors. Here are a few activities that will help you and your family unplug and fully embrace the beauty of the Northwoods:
1. Hiking the Bearskin Trail
The Bearskin Trail, one of the most popular trails in the area, is perfect for a leisurely hike or bike ride. This 21.5-mile trail winds through thick forests, alongside sparkling lakes, and over historic railroad trestles. It’s an ideal way to experience the natural beauty of the region while getting some exercise and fresh air. Without the distraction of phones or tablets, you’ll notice the rustling of leaves, the songs of birds, and the calming sounds of the forest.
2. Paddling on Lake Minocqua
With direct access to Lake Minocqua from our resort, you can spend hours exploring the waters by kayak, canoe, or paddleboard. The lake’s calm waters and stunning scenery make it the perfect setting for a peaceful paddle. Leave your devices behind and focus on the rhythmic splash of your paddle, the gentle breeze, and the possibility of spotting a loon or eagle soaring above.
3. Stargazing in the Northwoods
One of the most magical aspects of being in the Northwoods is the night sky. Far from the light pollution of cities, the stars in Minocqua shine brightly, offering a breathtaking view of the cosmos. Take advantage of this natural wonder by spending an evening stargazing. Spread out a blanket, turn off your devices, and gaze up at the Milky Way, perhaps catching a shooting star or two.
4. Morning Fishing at the Lagoon
At Nitschke's Northern Resort, our small inlet lagoon offers the perfect spot for kids to fish for panfish in a safe, shallow environment. Parents can relax on the bench seats, enjoying the peace and quiet of a Northwoods morning while watching their little ones experience the joy of fishing.
Make Time for Connection
While exploring the Northwoods, you’ll find that the absence of screens allows for richer interactions with your family. Engage in conversations, share stories, and enjoy the simple pleasures of being together.
Whether you’re roasting marshmallows around a campfire, playing board games in the cabin, or taking a sunset walk along the lake, these moments of connection are what make a vacation truly memorable.

At Nitschke’s Northern Resort, we understand that comfort is key to a relaxing vacation. That’s why each of our cabins is equipped with modern amenities like Wi-Fi and cable TV, ensuring you have everything you need to feel at home.
However, we encourage our guests to see their time in the Northwoods as an opportunity to step away from the screens and immerse themselves in the natural beauty that surrounds them.
