Hayward is a popular fishing destination due to the many lakes in the area (including Lac Courte Oreilles, Grindstone, Windigo, and Round Lakes), which are known for yielding trophy-sized muskellunge ("muskie"), northern pike, walleye, and smallmouth bass. Hayward is the home of the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame. The dominant feature of the town is the 200 foot long statue of a Muskellunge. One can climb up into the mouth of the fish and look over the town. In addition to fishing, Hayward is also a hot spot for deer hunting and snowmobiling.
