Welcome to the quiet side of the Lake! Whether this is your first visit or you've visited many times, we guarantee it won't be your last visit! Come explore and discover Mother Nature's birthplace. Calumet County, Wisconsin offers scenic Lake Winnebago and Becker Lake, both not only placid, but full of recreational opportunities like fishing and boating. We also boast spectacular cliff faces, like those seen at High Cliff State Park, and underground caves, seen only at Ledge View Nature Center. Trails are abundant and full of nature encounters. We are truly nature's retreat!
We're not just nature though. Picasso himself would have loved Calumet County with its many artists and shops. Visit with ten artists as they do their craft at Main Street Art Works, or, watch the chips fly at the chainsaw studio, the Sparkin' Chip Chop Shop. View peaceful kites in flight any perfect summer day in New Holstein. Edible art? You bet...our supper club chefs are artists in their own kitchens, serving everything from fire-baked pizza to hand cut steaks.
If history is what you're interested in, the County is rich in Native American History, as evidenced by the Native American Effigy mounds at Calumet County Park and High Cliff. Take a self-guided tour of century old bridges or watch a Civil War Re-enactment at Captain Potter Days.
Events are one-of-a-kind. There is Beer Fest in spring, a festival celebrating the micro brewing industry. Chickenfest, a free event which includes concerts performed by national recording artists, in summer attracts over 20,000 people. Crafty Apple Fest in fall with unique games like Pumpkin Bowling. And candle light skis in winter at the parks. If you prefer sports, there is the Half Ironman and Sprint Triathlon at High Cliff State Park to the Cheesehead Run in Hilbert. Auto racing at the Fairgrounds is a local favorite while motocross or snow mobile racing is always an attraction at Gravity Park USA.
Come, spend some time. Stay at one of our shore side campgrounds or one with a view from atop the escarpment overlooking Lake Winnebago. If you prefer, nestle in at one of our motels where the sounds of owls and the songs of the flute-like wood thrushes are not far away.
