Right now is a great time to find your new home, cabin, or recreational property in Northwestern Wisconsin. Summer is over and autumn leaves are turning their brilliant yellow and red hues. A smart strategy is to get serious about your search right now.
Beautiful fall colors in NW Wisconsin
Fall leaves
Here’s why: If you’re planning to wait until spring before beginning or resuming your search, remember that a lot of other buyers are doing the same. Sellers are very aware of this, and some have resigned themselves to not seeing much more activity until April. But once April arrives, they’ll be confident that more buyers will turn up in the months to follow. Home prices might even start a little higher and they’ll be less willing to negotiate on price.
Instead, if you find the place you’re looking for now and put in an offer, you’ll be in an excellent negotiating position. Many sellers are eager to sell now so they can move on; your negotiating power is even better. Some sellers will be glad to no longer be carrying those costs through the winter.
While interest rates are still very low, there is no guarantee they will remain at these levels. That’s one more reason to buy now.
This time of year, even Mother Nature is making it easier to find your new home, cabin, or recreational property. The leaves are falling, and suddenly it’s literally much easier to see what’s out there. Not only is this a wonderful time of year to enjoy the colors, lake homes and the lakes tend to be more visible.

The Amazing Miniature Lock-And-Dam Between Middle Eau Claire Lake and Lower Eau Claire Lake
Renovated lock and dam between Middle Eau Claire and Lower Eau Claire Lakes (Barnes, Wisconsin)
One of my favorite local attractions is this miniature, fully functional lock and dam that allows canoes, kayaks, and small fishing boats to travel between Middle Eau Claire Lake and Lower Eau Claire Lake. Impatient paddlers just portage around it; that’s generally quicker than waiting for the lock to fill or empty.
But this tiny lock and dam is still quite an amazing bit of infrastructure. At the time it was built, most anglers were satisfied with smaller boats and motors. Back then, this lock and dam was big enough to simultaneously lock through two normal-sized fishing boats. Lately it’s been showing its age, and it recently underwent major repairs and renovations. So here’s a fresh video of our minty-fresh lock and dam.
It’s easy to miss if you’re not looking for it. It’s right under the bridge on South Shore Road, just a short distance off County Road Y. So the next time you’re in Barnes, check it out.
And by the way… If you’d like to call this neighborhood home, then please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’d be glad to help you find the lake home or cabin of your dreams. Jean Hedren, Edina Realty, Barnes, WI. www.JeanHedren.com
The Eau Claire chain includes Lower, Middle, and Upper Eau Claire, plus a few smaller lakes of 80-200 acres that are accessible by smaller boats at most water levels. These include Bony, Pickerel, Robinson, Birch, Schunenberg, Smith, and Sweet. From Lower Eau Claire, the Eau Claire River flows westward, passing just south of Eau Claire Acres. Farther downstream, it joins the Saint Croix at Gordon.
The lakes in the Eau Claire chain tend to be deeper and clearer than most lakes in the area. (Eau Claire, as you may have guessed, is French for “Clear Water.”) In them, you’ll find muskies, walleye, northern pike, largemouth and smallmouth bass, crappies, bluegills, and perch. Here are some vital statistics for the three largest lakes:
· Lower Eau Claire: 802 acres, 7.78 miles of shoreline, maximum depth 41’, 56% greater than 20’ deep, and 4% less than 3’ deep.
· Middle Eau Claire: 902 acres, 11 miles of shoreline, maximum depth 66’, 40% greater than 20’ deep, and 12% less than 3’ deep.
· Upper Eau Claire: 992 acres, 9.93 miles of shoreline, maximum depth 92’, 50% greater than 20’ deep, and 4% less than 3’ deep.
Located in the heart of a recreational paradise. In addition to the Eau Claire river and chain of lakes, you’ll be close to dozens of other lakes and streams that are great for fishing, boating, paddling, and waterfowling. You’re just minutes from the Brule, the Namekagon, and the Saint Croix Wild and Scenic Riverway.
Nearby, you’ll find trails for ATVing, snowmobiling, biking, hiking, and skiing. The area is great for both road and mountain biking, and is home to events like the American Birkebeiner and Chequamegon Fat Tire Festival. You’ll be surrounded by vast areas of public and paper company land that’s open to hunting, hiking, birding, and other recreation.
You can shop for essentials in nearby Barnes, Gordon, or Solon Springs; it’s not much farther to Cable, Hayward, Drummond, or Ashland. It’s about an hour to Superior or Duluth, and about 2 ½ hours to the Twin Cities.

And, by the way, the cabins look pretty good too.
