About Port Edwards

Located right on the banks of the Wisconsin River, Port Edwards is a quiet village set between Nekoosa and Wisconsin Rapids. Its history is tied to central Wisconsin's timber and paper mill days, but today it is mostly a peaceful residential community. Living here means quiet, tree-lined streets, scenic riverfront parks, and plenty of room to spread out. Because it sits right next to Wisconsin Rapids, residents get the perks of small-town calm without giving up quick access to grocery stores, schools, and healthcare. If you are planning a move to central Wisconsin, Port Edwards offers an easygoing, riverfront lifestyle with a welcoming neighborhood feel.
