Welcome to the Hodag Chapter in beautiful Rhinelander, WI.

Welcome to the  Let’s Go Fishing Hodag Chapter, located in Oneida County, WI – the heart of the Northwoods of Wisconsin! Rhinelander has a population of around 8,000 residents and it stands as the retail hub of northern Wisconsin and upper Michigan; bringing the year-around population to around 50,000.

Both the Wisconsin and Pelican rivers run through Rhinelander.  Boom Lake is located within the City and encompasses a park, shoreline, swimming beach and boat launch.

While in Rhinelander make sure you visit the Northwood golf course, an 18-hole public course with clubhouse and restaurant located just at the edge of the City.  Rhinelander is home to Pioneer Park Historical Complex which boasts a railroad and logging museum right in the heart of the City.

If camping and hunting are to your liking, there are numerous possibilities for those activities throughout Oneida County.  When visiting, make sure you take note of the numerous Hodags located throughout the City of Rhinelander as well.
