Hatfield balances lakeside leisure with trail-loving energy. On sunny days, Lake Arbutus invites boating, paddling, and fishing, while nearby trailheads plug into the extensive Jackson County ATV/UTV system hosted by the Jackson County Forestry & Parks. The Black River State Forest sits minutes away for hiking, Nordic skiing, and wildlife viewing. Residents also enjoy easy outings to Black River Falls and Neillsville for coffee, groceries, and community events. Though small, Hatfield straddles the border of Jackson County and Clark County, giving you access to a wide mix of parks, beaches, and forest roads.
Families typically attend the School District of Black River Falls or the Neillsville School District, depending on address. Healthcare is anchored by Black River Memorial Hospital, and continuing education is close at Western Technical College. Winter stays lively at Bruce Mound Winter Sports Area, while warm-weather weekends often mean beaches on Lake Arbutus and clear-water dives at Wazee Lake Recreation Area. Housing here ranges from relaxed seasonal cabins to year-round homes tucked along wooded roads, with buyers drawn to water access, garage space for machines, and quick drives to jobs and services in nearby towns.
