A former lumbering town, Hayward keeps its past alive with the Lumberjack World Championships each summer. Fishing enthusiasts know it better as the home of the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame. The area is also known as the "Golf Capital of Wisconsin" with 18 courses within an hour's drive. People come to the Hayward Lakes to enjoy fishing and swimming, and to stroll the small town streets, stopping to buy a piece of freshly made fudge or a pair of moccasins.
