Iron County, Wisconsin

Iron County is up in Wisconsin’s Northwoods. This county lives up to its name. It was once a booming iron mining region. Those days are gone, but the rugged spirit remains.
The county is a paradise for anyone who loves the outdoors. Waterfalls cascade through forests of pine and birch. The area boasts some of the best snowmobiling in the Midwest.
Locals are proud of their mining heritage. You can still tour an old iron mine in Hurley. Fishing is huge here, with countless lakes and streams to explore. Fall brings an explosion of color to the forests.
