Fond du Lac County blends lakeshore living with small-city convenience and a deep sense of community. In Fond du Lac, weekends often begin at Lakeside Park, where a historic lighthouse, lagoon, and miles of shoreline frame picnics, playgrounds, and the beloved Walleye Weekend festival. Nature lovers can roam prairie restorations, bike rail trails, and explore the glacial landscapes of the Kettle Moraine State Forest’s Northern Unit. Day trips to Oshkosh for air shows and waterfront dining, or concerts and pro sports in Milwaukee, are a straight shot via Highway 41.
Families praise the Fond du Lac School District for strong academics, STEM programming, and award-winning arts and athletics. Higher education is close to home at the UW Oshkosh, Fond du Lac Campus, Marian University, and Moraine Park Technical College, creating clear pathways from dual-credit courses to degrees and in-demand careers.
Housing ranges from historic neighborhoods to new subdivisions and rural acreage, with a cost of living that stretches budgets further without sacrificing amenities. You’ll find a lively calendar of farmers markets, outdoor music, and gallery openings at venues like the Thelma Sadoff Center for the Arts, plus year-round boating, ice fishing, and cross-country skiing. Local healthcare, parks, and services from Fond du Lac County support an easy, well-rounded lifestyle.
