Manawa, WI

Set along the winding Little Wolf River in Waupaca County, Manawa is a quiet Wisconsin community with a relaxed pace and plenty of outdoor charm. Everyday life tends to revolve around the water, from paddling and fishing on the river to gatherings near the millpond. The town’s biggest tradition arrives every July, when the Mid-Western Rodeo brings the area together for a weekend of parades, live entertainment, and packed grandstands. For anyone looking for a close-knit, peaceful small town with a friendly atmosphere, Manawa offers a comfortable place to settle down.
