Hertel balances quiet country living with surprising convenience, set along Highway 70 in Burnett County. Towering pines, star-bright skies, and easy drives to day-to-day essentials define the lifestyle here, with shopping, clinics, and community events just down the road in Siren, Webster, and Spooner. A local standout is the compact, welcoming St. Croix Casino Hertel, which brings dining, entertainment, and a handy travel center to this rural crossroads.
Outdoors, Hertel punches well above its size. Anglers can pick from a tapestry of nearby lakes, while snowmobile and ATV riders tap into county-spanning trail networks that unfurl through forests and wetlands. For paddlers and wildlife watchers, the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway lies a scenic drive west, offering pristine water, sandy landings, and bald-eagle flyovers. Local trailheads and campgrounds are supported by the county’s capable Forestry & Parks Department, making four-season recreation part of the weekly routine.
Families will find schooling options tailored by address; many students attend Siren or Webster schools, and others are served by the Spooner Area School District, known for hands-on learning, strong athletics, and community engagement. Housing runs the gamut from classic cabins and lakeside retreats to acreage parcels and practical year-round homes, with room to grow and space to breathe.
Whether you’re dreaming of a first cabin, moving up to a lake home, or preparing to sell, Agent Pronto can connect you with an experienced local agent who knows Hertel inside and out.
