Jackson County — Wisconsin's Public Land Capital
No county in west-central Wisconsin has more public forestland than Jackson. The Black River State Forest covers over 68,000 acres and the Jackson County Forest adds another 122,600 acres — for a combined public land total exceeding 190,000 acres. For property buyers, this concentration of permanently protected public land means rural parcels adjacent to state and county forests offer stable boundaries that will never be developed, a significant advantage for recreational and hunting land buyers. Jackson County is also home to Wazee Lake — Wisconsin's deepest lake overall at 355 feet, a former iron ore mine pit near Black River Falls now managed by the DNR as a recreational lake. The county's effective tax rate of 0.95% stays well below the state average, and land records are digitally available from 1854 — the county's founding year.
