About Marquette County Located in the gently rolling countryside of south-central Wisconsin, Marquette County remains largely untouched by human habitation. Almost two-thirds of the County's 320,000 acres are covered by primitive oak and pine forests and vast expanses of grassy marshlands.
Named for the French explorer, Jacques Marquette, who traveled here in 1673, the county’s waterways remain today much like they did years before -- idyllic waterways, great for canoeing, boating and fishing; rich in wildlife and tranquil beauty.
Dotted by nearly seventy lakes and ponds, and crisscrossed by fifteen sparkling trout streams, Marquette County has some of the most varied and productive fishing spots in the Midwest.
In the county's more than 6,000 acres of public hunting grounds, hunters will find one of the best whitetail deer herds in the state, as well as an abundance of small game, wood and water fowl.
The county's two golf courses offer 36 holes and all the amenities needed for a perfect pair of outings. Five additional courses are available in neighboring Green Lake and Waushara Counties, giving golfers a different course to play every day of the week.
Marquette County is south-central Wisconsin's year-round vacationland.
