TAKE CARE OF YOU “It’s not hard to live an active, healthy life in Portage County. The area provides a variety of trails, parks and water ways which makes it easy to stay active anytime of year. We also have a community where our local farmers have a strong presence at farmers markets and local restaurants providing, fresh, nutritious Farm to Plate menu items.” Sarah Agena Owner, Flexible Nutrition Solutions

Healthy Living Life is about more than where you work and play. Portage County has several opportunities for you to find self-fulfillment, security, and a community that is here to support you. Maintaining good health is easier here with an abundance of clean air and water, scenic walking and jogging trails, and access to highly rated health-care providers. Central Wisconsin is an outdoor lover’s wonderland all year round. Boating, fishing, waterskiing, swimming, canoeing and kayaking are popular summer activities, with easy access to more than 40 public lakes and the Wisconsin, Plover and Tomorrow rivers. Excellent trail systems, including the Green Circle Trail and Tomorrow River State Trail attract hikers, cyclists and horseback riders, and the 275-acre Schmeeckle Reserve, on the campus of UWStevens Point, is a favorite with birdwatchers, picnickers and nature enthusiasts.
