Winter is a little bigger in Northern Wisconsin. The Northwoods gets more snow, more frosty weather, and there are more opportunities for outdoor fun. So when it comes to building a snowman, an ordinary backyard creation simply won’t do. The biggest Wisconsin snowman that you’ve ever seen greets seasonal visitors to Minocqua. Here’s where to find it.

Minocqua is located in northern Oneida County – it’s a gorgeous area of lakes and forests and it has been a popular tourism destination for more than a century.

Mincoqua is a fun place in any season, but it’s awesome in the winter – it has some great cross-county ski trails, snowmobile trails, ice skating rinks and ice fishing lakes. The area gets tons of snow so it’s also a good place to build a snowman.

The snowman is built like a wedding cake, with snow fence holding together the truckloads of snow that fill each layer. It takes three days to build the snowman and the end product is pretty amazing.
