NORTH WISCONSIN
Lush woodlands, growing innovation and outdoor appreciation
Through over a century of growing and harvesting our renewable resource—timber—the North region is still helping our nation grow, thrive and prosper. Upon that foundation are emerging groups of entrepreneurs, a highly skilled workforce and people with a strong work ethic. With hundreds of acres of pristine lakes, forests, and rolling hills, the North region is home to wildlife, residents and visitors who every day discover something special in Wisconsin. Our summer climate is perfect weather for county fairs and farmers markets. Campgrounds are abundant with happy campers and campground fires at night. During the winter months we enjoy the lakes, forests and rolling hills to snow ski, ice fish, snowmobile and so much more.
