Rome pairs small-town ease with big adventure. Set amid towering pines and clear-water lakes, it’s a place where mornings start on the water and afternoons finish on the fairway. Four lakes—Arrowhead, Camelot, Sherwood, and nearby Petenwell—shape everyday life, while the nearby job and shopping hubs of Wisconsin Rapids and Nekoosa keep essentials close.
Recreation is a year-round calling card. Golfers flock to the nationally recognized courses at Sand Valley Golf Resort, home to expansive sandhills vistas and destination dining, and to the classic parkland layouts and amenities of the Lake Arrowhead Association. Off-road enthusiasts find miles of riding at the Dyracuse Mound Recreation Area, while boaters and anglers launch into the big water from Petenwell County Park or explore the Petenwell Flowage’s sprawling shoreline and fisheries with help from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Community events, seasonal markets, and local services are highlighted by the Town of Rome, adding neighborly rhythm to the calendar.
Families appreciate practical school options, with most of Rome served by the Nekoosa School District and some neighborhoods within the Adams-Friendship Area School District. County services, healthcare, and outdoor programs are supported across Adams County, making it easy to plug into the region’s resources.
