Welcome to Namakagon
The Town of Namakagon in southern Bayfield County, Wisconsin is lightly populated, densely wooded, and a popular vacation destination in Northwest WI. The town forms around Lake Namakagon, a trophy muskie lake, and excellent for walleye, bass, northern pike, and pan fish. The forests here are far more populated with wildlife than people. Deer, black bear, fox, wild turkeys, grouse, and bald eagles are often seen, and the beautifully haunting call of the common loon is heard around the lake throughout the summer.

The Town of Namakagon Community Park
The Town of Namakagon is excited to share that a new Community Park Development is underway! The Town of Namakagon applied for grant funds through a Bayfield County Infrastructure Grant for this new park in 2022. The Road Crew worked hard to install eight fitness stations along a path that was cleared by multiple volunteers. This Spring, there will be two signs installed at the entrances for the park, and the walking path will be improved. The town also set up pickleball courts in the parking lot area. The courts were used so much that they will be installed again this year! The town received a basketball hoop to set up, and this will be done this Spring as well. We encourage people of all ages to come out and enjoy the fitness path, pickleball courts and basketball hoop to engage in outdoor physical activity. There is a picnic table available for an outdoor meal and a relaxing swing to enjoy! This location is also a CAMBA trailhead, so bring your bike for a ride through the trails. The location of the park is across from the Town Hall, 23845 County Highway M in the Town of Namakagon.
