About Oconomowoc

Oconomowoc is a Waukesha County city in Wisconsin's Lake Country, west of Milwaukee. Its identity is closely tied to the lakes around it, including Lac La Belle, Fowler Lake, and nearby Okauchee Lake. The city grew as a resort and residential community for people drawn to the water, while modern Oconomowoc also functions as a suburban and regional center between Milwaukee and Madison. It has a classic southeastern Wisconsin lake-town feel: historic downtown, shoreline neighborhoods, and recreation built into everyday life.
