Local & Regional Sports, Recreation, Nature and Wildlife

You can find your freedom here.  Enjoy the tranquility your new found lake, land and woods offers.  The calm found here encourages uninterrupted reading, sketching, photography, or other passions.  Step up the activity without leaving home.  Enjoy water skiing, fishing and boating followed by a picnic in the park and a walk along the wooded lake shore.  End the day paddling your canoe at sunset on this nearly private lake. 

The county roads are well suited for bike rides or family strolls and will take you through rural settings to several other small lakes and parks.  Families also enjoy theatre, symphony, art exhibits, and plays in nearby Appleton, Oshkosh, Green Bay, and Manitowoc supported by the area state and private colleges and universities.  

When it’s time to raise the adrenalin, you are in the right place.  The finest fishing, water sports, hunting, snowmobiling, riding, hiking and boating are all around you.  Try ice fishing for sturgeon or enter the walleye tournament at Lake Winnebago.  Fish for salmon from the shores of Lake Michigan.  Compete for record large-mouth bass on your own Long Lake!  Take friends to Oshkosh for the annual experimental aircraft show, or find a partner to hunt black bear in the northern WI woods.  Always carry field glasses and camera to watch sand hill crane and wild turkey on your property and migrating water fowl at Collins Marsh.  Take a thirty minute drive west to explore the steep cliffs on Wisconsin’s largest inland lake…or a thirty minute drive east to explore the Maribel caves.  

East Central WI has many unique geological areas.  The Kettle Moraine landscape and Lake Michigan shoreline offer uncommon hiking, sightseeing and camping.  From Harrington State Park north of Sheboygan to Door County, beautiful resorts, campgrounds, and golf courses welcome thousands.  Avid golfers will want to play Bear Run, Whistling Straights, and Deer Run in Brillion.  

Recreational activity brings the friendly people of the area together.  They are genuine and welcoming.  Living here is a wonderful opportunity to find your freedom and celebrate life.

Responsible hunting and game management allows Wisconsin's wildlife to thrive and remain healthy.  Game found in the region include Whitetail Deer, Black Bear, Bobcat, Fox, Coyote, Pheasant, Turkey, Duck, Goose, Dove, Grouse, and Woodcock.
