Florence County, Wisconsin
Florence County is up in Wisconsin’s Northwoods. It sits right on the Michigan border. The county is more than half public land. That means endless opportunities for hiking, camping, and wildlife watching.
Lakes and rivers beckon to anglers and paddlers. ATVing is huge here, with hundreds of miles of trails. The small population means you can really get away from it all.
Fall colors are spectacular, drawing leaf-peepers from far and wide. Winters are long and perfect for snowmobiling. It’s not for everyone, but those who love it wouldn’t live anywhere else.
