Iola balances small-town ease with outsized experiences. Set amid rolling forests and clear-water lakes in Waupaca County, the village is best known for the annual Iola Car Show, which draws enthusiasts from across the Midwest for three days of classic autos, live entertainment, and community spirit each July. Outdoor time comes naturally here: the Iola Winter Sports Club maintains miles of groomed trails for Nordic skiing and snowshoeing in winter and invites hikers and cyclists the rest of the year. Everyday conveniences and additional dining, healthcare, and arts are an easy drive in Waupaca, Stevens Point, or Appleton.
Families appreciate the close-knit feel of the Iola-Scandinavia School District, where students benefit from attentive class sizes, strong academics, and spirited athletics. Village services keep life running smoothly, from well-kept parks and seasonal events to practical utilities and permitting through the Village of Iola. Golfers find scenic fairways nearby, anglers and paddlers explore quiet waters at sunrise, and local businesses greet regulars by name—making it easy to settle in, whether you’re purchasing your first home or planning a downsized move.
