Marquette County Wisconsin

From boating to fishing, hiking to biking, come experience nature's beauty in Marquette County. Home to the largest tree in Wisconsin (majestically growing in front of the courthouse in Montello), and the boyhood home of John Muir, the Marquette County area is south-central Wisconsin's year-round vacationland. Boating and canoeing are favorite pastimes in summer, as are sailing, skiing and swimming. In winter, snowmobilers and cross-country skiers find the rolling hills and frozen lakes ideal places to enjoy their sports, while ice anglers bore holes to catch fish from the ice-locked waters.

Golfing and softball on area courses and diamonds are a great way to spend a warm, summer day. Boats, motor and canoe rentals can be found at various resorts. Tackle and fresh, live bait can be purchased at many resorts, campgrounds and local bait shops. As you can see, the Montello area offers everything you need for an enjoyable day of fishing: plenty of lakes, rivers, and streams, with more than enough fish to go around.Deer, of course, remain the most sought-after game Marquette County has to offer. Hunters enjoy great success when pursuing the wary whitetail, so plentiful in this area. For the upland gamebird hunter - Marquette County offers a mixed bag of ruffed grouse, woodcock, pheasant, and bob-white quail.
