Activities: Hikes, bikes, golf and more
Morgan Falls and St. Peter's Dome Even casual hikers will enjoy the pretty, doable trek (1.2 miles roundtrip) to the 70-foot Morgan Falls (pictured), located in the Chequamegon National Forest, about an hour northeast of Hayward. A rugged climb veers off to the granite outcrop of St. Peter's Dome (3.6 miles roundtrip), with a view of Lake Superior on clear days (fs.usda.gov).
Off-road biking The Chequamegon Area Mountain Bike Association sponsors more than 300 miles of mapped and marked off-road biking trails. The Hayward cluster has almost 100 miles of trails (cambatrails.org).
