About Frederic

Frederic is a quiet, welcoming village in northwestern Wisconsin where outdoor recreation sits right at your doorstep. At the center of town is Coon Lake, surrounded by a large community park with boat docks, ball fields, a bandstand for summer concerts, and ice skating in the winter. The popular Gandy Dancer Trail also runs right through town, making it easy to walk, bike, or snowmobile anytime. Between the lakeside green space and the historic depot museum, the village has an easy, open feel that appeals to anyone looking for a classic small-town setting.

For day-to-day living, Frederic covers the basics with local diners, a grocery store, and a public library located in a converted vintage theater. Families benefit from having the local elementary and middle-high schools right in town. It is a friendly, grounded community that offers plenty of peace and quiet while keeping you connected to nearby lakes and neighboring towns across Polk County.
