Burnett County, Wisconsin
Wisconsin’s northwest corner is home to Burnett County. Lakes are everywhere with over 500 of them scattered across the landscape. The St. Croix River forms the western border with Minnesota.
Forests cover much of the county, home to deer, black bears, and even the occasional wolf. Winters bring tons of snow, but that just means it’s time to break out the snowmobiles.
Small towns like Grantsburg and Siren have that classic up-north feel. Fishing is a way of life. Summer cabins surround the lakeshores, filled with families escaping the city heat. It’s the kind of place where you can truly get away from it all.
