Monroe County, Wisconsin

Monroe Location Map Wisconsin

Monroe County is tucked into the western part of Wisconsin, not far from the Mississippi. Cranberry bogs and bike trails. That’s Monroe County in a nutshell.

The landscape is a mix of rolling hills and flat valleys. Perfect for farming. And biking. The Elroy-Sparta Trail cuts right through. Sparta, the county seat, calls itself the “Bicycling Capital of America”. Bold claim, but they back it up.

Fort McCoy takes up a big chunk of the county. It’s an active military base that brings in a lot of people and money. Monroe County isn’t flashy. It’s down-to-earth. The kind of place where a friendly nod goes a long way.
