Waukau, WI

Set in rural Winnebago County just east of Rush Lake, Waukau is a quiet, close-knit community with deep historical roots. Back in the mid-1800s, local water power turned Waukau into a bustling settlement filled with busy flour mills, hotels, and country stores. Today, it has settled into a peaceful rural hamlet of roughly 300 residents. Living here means enjoying scenic open farmland, easy access to wooded trails along Waukau Creek, and a relaxed countryside pace, all within a short drive of Oshkosh and Ripon.
