Forest County, Wisconsin

Forest County lives up to its name. It’s a heavily wooded area in northeastern Wisconsin. Small towns are scattered among the trees. The Wolf and Pine Rivers offer great paddling and fishing.
Crandon, the county seat, hosts off-road races that draw big crowds. Winters are long and snowy, which makes it perfect for snowmobiling and cross-country skiing in the forests.
The Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest covers much of the county. ATVing is popular, with an extensive trail system. It’s where you can really connect with nature. The pace of life is slow, and that’s how locals like it.
