Waukau pairs quiet country living with easy access to big-name amenities. Set in Winnebago County and governed by the Town of Rushford, this small community sits near Waukau Creek and the marshes feeding Rush Lake, where cranes, ducks, and songbirds stage unforgettable migrations. Everyday needs are close by in Omro, while Oshkosh brings dining, shopping, and a packed events calendar just a short drive away.
Weekend plans come naturally here. Cast for trout or watch waterfowl, then head to regional favorites like the EAA Aviation Museum or The Paine Art Center & Gardens. Trails, boat launches, and shoreline picnic spots across the county are easy to find through Winnebago County Parks. For lectures, theater, and continuing education, the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh anchors the area’s cultural life.
Families value practical school options with the Omro School District and cardholder access to the Oshkosh Public Library. Local errands and seasonal festivals in the City of Omro keep calendars full, and commutes to Ripon or Berlin are straightforward. Housing runs from classic farmhouses to new builds on acreage, and the town’s rural roads make sunsets part of the daily routine. Whether you’re moving to the area or getting ready to list, Agent Pronto can introduce you to a top real estate pro who knows Waukau and the surrounding market.
