The Fair
Eagle River is home to the Vilas County Fair, which is a mid-August celebration in Wisconsin's northernmost lake country, where over 1,300 lakes make this one of the most lake-dense regions on earth. Eagle River calls itself the "Chain O' Lakes Capital of the World."
Local Tips
Eagle River's Chain O' Lakes offers outstanding fishing and boating — rent a pontoon boat and enjoy a day on the water before or after the fair.
