Oconto County doesn’t do ordinary. This summer, the county is hosting three events that range from genuinely wild to legitimately world-class: a block-party bar festival in Breed, elite competitive fishing on Green Bay, and two days of wheel-to-wheel racing in Lena. Here’s what’s coming.
Oconto County rewards the curious traveler. Climb a century-old fire tower, watch hundreds of vultures take flight from an ancient ridgeline, glide down a river-carved waterslide, and drive a causeway surrounded by the waters of the Great Lakes. These six must-have experiences are just the beginning of what this remarkable corner of Wisconsin has to offer.
Some places tolerate winter. Oconto County is built for it. From the hushed beauty of snow-covered forest trails and the thrill of wide-open snowmobile runs, to the patience of ice fishing, the spectacle of a Bortle Class 2 night sky, and events that are anything but ordinary, there’s a version of winter here that’s made for you. Explore five unforgettable ways Oconto County winters in our How WI Winter series.
Northern Oconto County is one of those places that slows you down in the best possible way. The communities of Breed, Doty, Mountain, and Townsend offer pristine waterways, old-growth forest, year-round outdoor adventure, and the kind of genuine small-town welcome that keeps visitors coming back season after season.
