Reserve is a quiet, close-knit community set amid forest, water, and sky on the Lac Courte Oreilles Reservation, just a short drive from Hayward in sawyer county. Life here leans outdoors: anglers and paddlers prize the clear waters of Lac Courte Oreilles and the sprawling Chippewa Flowage, while miles of nearby trails lead into the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. Winter brings well-groomed routes for skiing and snowmobiling, and the region’s endurance spirit shines with the American Birkebeiner Ski Foundation events. For a dose of Northwoods lore, the iconic Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame in Hayward celebrates big catches and bigger stories.
Families value education rooted in culture and community. The tribally operated Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe School offers K–12 learning with Ojibwe language and traditions, while the accredited Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe University provides accessible higher education close to home. Many area students also engage with the Hayward Community School District, known for strong academics and extracurriculars. Civic resources, permitting, and year-round recreation programs are supported by Sawyer County government, and community life is enriched by the leadership and services of the Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians.
