About Bay City

Perched along the northern tip of Lake Pepin, Bay City is a quiet river village in Pierce County home to fewer than 500 people. Running right alongside Wisconsin's scenic Great River Road, the town is framed by dramatic bluffs and wide-open water. You will find a blend of historic nineteenth-century homes, peaceful riverfront green spaces, and preserved heritage sites like the River Bluffs History Center. For newcomers looking for an unhurried pace, it offers everyday waterside living, easy boat access, and a close-knit neighborhood feel.
