Kewaskum's access to the outdoors and small-town charm
Kewaskum calls itself the Gateway to the Kettle Moraine State Forest. The park is a big attraction for hikers in the region, but this isn’t the only way Kewaskum residents can get outside. In addition to local parks, state trails go through and around the community, inviting local bikers and hikers and long-haul backpackers from across the state. At home in the town of Kewaskum, people have plenty to do when they aren’t looking to get outside or do too much hiking, from local restaurants to baseball leagues. “It’s a small community and everybody knows everybody’s business,” says real estate agent Sharon Ellis with RE/MAX United. “But everybody is very helpful and accommodating.”
Kewaskum had 4,309 residents at the 2020 census.

From state forests and national trails to community parks
The Kettle Moraine State Forest – Northern Unit stretches across 30,000 acres along Kewaskum’s eastern side. Formed by glaciers, the hilly landscape has trails specifically for biking and skiing. Mauthe and Long lakes also have beaches. The Ice Age National Scenic Trail also goes through the forest, a popular backpacking trail that runs almost 1,200 miles across Wisconsin. The entrance point in Kewaskum makes access easy for residents. The trail also intersects with another — Eisenbahn State Trail. “It is very attractive for snowmobiling in the winter and then biking in the summer.” In town, Kewaskum Kiwanis Community Park’s six baseball diamonds host the local leagues, which Ellis states is a big deal here. “It starts with T-ball and then moves up to adult baseball,” Ellis says. The park also has tennis and pickleball courts. “River Hill Park has the river going through it, and there’s fishing,” Ellis says. “They just put in a kayak launch.” Hon-E-Kor Country Club is a 27-hole golf course that’s open to the public. It splits into three separate nines, and visitors can choose which sets they want to play in a game. In the winter, Sunburst Ski Area offers skiing, snowboarding and a large tubing area with 45 chutes.
