About Turtle Lake

Turtle Lake sits in northwestern Wisconsin, right where peaceful farmland blends into the Northwoods lake country. Named by early surveyors after the turtles nesting along the water, the village grew around Upper and Lower Turtle Lake as a logging and railway stop in the late 1800s. Today, it remains an easygoing small community where neighbors know each other and life moves at a comfortable, unhurried pace.
