The Best Kept Secret! 5 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) I love the lush greenery that surrounds my hometown Oconomowoc, WI. My small quaint city stays clean all year round. It’s well known that most people who move here stay forever. Home to more than 16,000 residents Oconomowoc is noted for its most popular attraction Fowler Lake P ...Read More ark. The park lures visitors from all over the world. If you’re looking for a small-town vibe with friendly people to live around, then this is your place. Our economy is doing just fine and new opportunities are always around the corner.

Don’t let the cold weather scare you. It’s true we do have some cold seasons, but we make the best of them. Locals love to hang out at Fiesta Cancun Mexican Restaurant & Cantina for fun. You should try their pico de gallo and homemade tortilla chips. I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Come on down and enjoy snow fights, fishing, hunting, shopping, and cozy fireplace conversations. We promise to keep the conversation and the laughter coming. Read Less
