About the Bear Trail

The kind of place you hope to find up north.

No dress code. No fuss. Just a warm bar, a good meal and people who are glad you made the stop.

Backwoods by nature

A local bar with a trail-running heart.

Sitting along State Highway 64 in Mountain, Animal's Bear Trail is woven into the rhythm of the Northwoods. Riders stop in after a day on the trails. Hunters trade stories. Locals catch up. Travelers find the kind of welcome that makes a place memorable.

The room is unapologetically Wisconsin: knotty pine, Packers green and gold, trail signs, wildlife and a bar that feels lived in. It is casual, a little wild around the edges, and proud of it.

Riders welcome

ATV, UTV and snowmobile traffic is part of the place. Come dusty, muddy or snow-covered.

Food that lands

Hearty bar favorites, crispy baskets and cold drinks made for a full day outside.

Everybody fits

Regulars, families, first-timers and groups all share the same laid-back room.

Good times live here

More than a stop on the map.

Animal's Bear Trail has the easygoing spirit of a place where the people matter as much as the food. Drop in for lunch, stay for the stories, and you may leave knowing somebody new.
