September in Wisconsin is special. By the time the 5th of September rolls around, the air begins to shift—crisp mornings, warm afternoons, and the first hints of fall color starting to touch the maples. It’s the season when the Northwoods comes alive in a whole new way.
A Day in Sawyer County – September 5th
Picture this: You wake up on your own 5+ acre wooded lot in Sawyer County, the ground still damp with morning dew. The sound of loons drifts from nearby Big Chetac Lake, and the trailhead for the 75-mile Tuscobia Trail is right there at your doorstep. By mid-morning, you’re riding your ATV down miles of forest paths, the leaves just starting to glow in shades of orange and red.
In the afternoon, you head to the lake. Big Chetac, with nearly 2,000 acres of water, is alive with late-summer fishing—walleye, musky, and bass are biting as the seasons change. Evening comes, and you sit by the firepit, wrapped in a sweatshirt, knowing this is the kind of September day you’ll never forget.
