River North Ridge

This part of Waupaca County includes the Chain O’ Lakes area around King, along with Sheridan, Cobb Town and rural surroundings. Glacial lakes, wooded shorelines and rolling countryside shape the setting, with warm, humid summers and cold, snowy winters. Hartman Creek State Park offers hiking, camping and access to outdoor recreation; the connected lakes are a draw for boating, paddling and fishing. In and near King, dining and coffee options are modest, with more shops and services in Waupaca’s central commercial areas. The King Veteran’s Home is a notable local landmark, and the area’s history is closely tied to lake recreation and settlement. Driving is the most practical way to get between scattered destinations; quieter local roads and rural routes also suit cycling. Public transit and nightlife options are limited.
