Michelle's Lodge was constructed in 2017 in honor and memory of Michelle Koss, who was an avid and passionate recreationist and resident of Langlade County. This beautifully constructed lodge was built in collaboration between the Elcho School Tech Ed. class and Nicholson Woodworks Inc. The lodge is open to the public year-round and features a cozy fireplace and seating.  The lodge is located off of the parking area.

Moccasin Lake Recreation Area's trails are free of charge as a service to the public and solely funded by your donations. Please consider donating to keep this trail system up and running; a donation box is available at the trailhead. The maintenance and grooming efforts are done completely by dedicated volunteers for the Elcho X-C Ski Club, Inc.  Please follow them on their Facebook page for more information!
