Waukesha County, Wisconsin

Waukesha Location Map Wisconsin

Waukesha County is where the suburbs of Milwaukee fade into Wisconsin’s lake country. This place has got it all: ritzy lake homes, working farms, and everything in between. The Fox River Valley cuts through the heart of the county.

Waukesha is the biggest city, with a revitalized downtown that’s hopping on weekends. But don’t sleep on smaller towns like Oconomowoc or Delafield. They’ve got charm for days.

The Kettle Moraine State Forest is a local treasure, perfect for hiking, biking, or just forest bathing. Historians will dig the area’s connection to Les Paul, the father of the electric guitar. Waukesha County has a rep for being pretty well-off, but it’s not all country clubs and BMWs.
