Hayward is the quintessential Northwoods town, where you can see the Lumberjack World Championships, hook a record-breaking muskellunge at the annual Musky Festival, watch a screening of the campy 1980s fishing horror flick Blood Hook that was filmed there on location, see Cal Johnson’s world-record 1949 catch on display at the Moccasin Bar, and climb into the mouth of a giant fish at the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame.
