Cumberland is an island city set amid sparkling water and northwoods scenery, where everyday life feels closely connected to the outdoors. Perched on Beaver Dam Lake, it offers four seasons of adventure—quiet morning paddles, trophy panfish in summer, and snowy escapes when sleds hum along the Cattail State Trail. Community spirit runs deep here, culminating each August at the lively Rutabaga Festival, a tradition that blends small-town warmth with big fun.
Families value the strong educational foundation provided by the Cumberland School District, known for engaged teachers, hands-on learning, and well-rounded arts and athletics. Healthcare is close and comprehensive at Cumberland Healthcare, giving residents peace of mind right in town. Book lovers and lifelong learners gather at the Cumberland Public Library for story times, makerspace activities, and community events. Local entrepreneurs benefit from the support and networking of the Cumberland Chamber of Commerce, while everyday conveniences are complemented by expanded shopping and services in nearby Rice Lake.
Set within Barron County, Cumberland balances small-town ease with year-round recreation—ice fishing shanties dot the lake in winter, bikes and strollers share lakeside paths in spring, and autumn colors ring the shoreline each fall. Whether you’re dreaming of a lakefront cottage, your first home, or preparing to sell, Agent Pronto can connect you with a trusted local real estate professional to guide you every step of the way.
