Winneconne is surrounded by recreation on several lakes and a river

Winneconne is a small Wisconsin community surrounded by large lakes. “Winneconne is central to [more than] 150,000 acres of water. We are right in the middle of everything,” says Kris Janasik, a Realtor with Realty ONE Group Haven, who has about 15 years of experience. The town straddles a short stretch of the Wolf River that flows between Lake Winneconne and Lake Butte des Morts, about 15 miles from the shores of the larger Lake Winnebago. In fact, much of life in Winneconne revolves around its water access. “There are great little shops that have unique nautical things that everybody loves. Fin ‘n Feather is the most popular restaurant. They have a patio, and on nice days, everybody goes outside to have some drinks,” Janasik says.

Public areas in Winneconne highlight the town’s welcoming lakeside character.

Two lakes, a river and a man-made pond create recreation opportunities

With the Wolf River flowing from one lake to another through the center of town, water recreation is plentiful in Winneconne. An ornate gazebo overlooks the rocky shore at Lake Winneconne Park, where a boat launch and a dock make navigating the waters by boat easy. Arthur Marble Park is home to a large man-made pond with a sandy shoreline on one side and a diving board at the deeper end. Children wrangle large floats on the water, and lifeguards man the swimming facility from land. “My kids when there every single day of the summer,” Janasik says. The green space has four baseball diamonds and two pickleball courts, and plans include a splash pad, batting cages and updated playground equipment. Southeast of the city, the Frank & Alice Kachur Trail weaves through more than 2 miles of Terrell's Island’s wetlands, where lily pads seem to hover above water and tall grasses flank wooden bridges.

The Wolf River connects Winneconne’s parks and neighborhoods with peaceful natural views.

Diverse architecture downtown and waterfront properties to the north

A wide range of architecture makes up the housing stock in the Village of Winneconne. Victorian farmhouses, original Craftsman homes from the first two decades of the 20th century, split-level homes from the 1970s and New Traditional homes from the 1990s rest on gridded streets that border the Wolf River on either side. Ranging from $200,000 to $800,000, homes come on lots between a third and a half of an acre in size; some on the upper end of the spectrum have direct river access.
Farther north, waterfront properties on acreage that back up to Lake Winneconne fetch between $340,000 and $1 million. A-frame builds often come with large windows synonymous with lakeside living, and ranch-style homes ramble across spacious lots on the lakefront. Boat lifts, boathouses and fish-cleaning stations make water recreation convenient.

Winneconne’s CAP Index Crime Score is 1 out of 10, which is lower than the national average of 4. Homes near the shoreline may be at an increased risk of flooding during heavy rainfall.
