Oconto County offers a rare mix of Lake Michigan bay shoreline, deep Northwoods, and small-town convenience, making it easy to tailor your lifestyle—whether you prefer waterfront weekends, cabin-country quiet, or an easy commute to Green Bay. Everyday life revolves around friendly hubs like Oconto, Oconto Falls, Lakewood, and Little Suamico, while proximity to Brown County and Marinette County expands career and entertainment options.
Outdoor recreation is a standout. Explore the ancient Copper Culture burial site at Copper Culture State Park, cared for by the Wisconsin DNR, or roam miles of forest roads and lakes in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. Anglers and paddlers enjoy the Oconto River and the bay’s renowned walleye fishery, and four-season trail systems keep ATVers, hikers, and snowmobilers moving; Oconto County Tourism is a great resource for maps and conditions. For strolls along the harbor and community festivals, check the City of Oconto’s events and marina updates.
Families appreciate strong local schools. The Oconto Unified School District and the Oconto Falls School District offer robust academics, arts, and athletics, and health care needs are well served by HSHS St. Clare Memorial Hospital in Oconto Falls. County services, permits, and election information are easy to find on the Oconto County government website.
