YO HO! Translated, the enthusiastic cry of the axe-man means “hello, I’m excited to be here”. The Board of Directors of the Lumberjack World Championships® and all of the competitors from around the globe are excited that you, the spectator, plan to be here as well.

The Lumberjack World Championships® is an annual sporting event held at Lumberjack Bowl in beautiful Hayward, WI. The championships were established to perpetuate the rich history of logging that took place here in the northwestern part of Wisconsin. In fact, Lumberjack Bowl was once a giant holding pond for the logs of Weyerhaeuser’s North Wisconsin Lumber Company.

The Championships take place over a three day period in a variety of competitive logging events. Held the last weekend in July of each year, these events include chopping, sawing, tree-climbing and log-rolling. Competitors come from as far away as Canada, Australia and New Zealand to vie for more than $50,000 in prize money, one of the richest paybacks of any lumberjack contest in the world.
