welcome to iron county, wisconsin

Let’s face it, the "real northwoods" of natural beauty and adventure is getting pretty hard to find these days. Here, there is a variety of natural surroundings that other areas can only envy. Pristine waterfalls cascade through our colorful forests. The rugged Penokee Range rises teton-like over historic mining communities. It’s breathtaking skyline and vistas offer unlimited opportunities for adventure. Blue gems of peaceful lakes, the wild shores of the Turtle-Flambeau and Gile Flowages, are home to loons, bald eagles and satisfied fisherman. Lake Superior, the World’s Mightiest Freshwater Lake laps our northern shores. Our greatest resource . . . the friendly people and communities welcome you to Iron County, WI.
