Voykit pocket guide · United States

Oconto

Spend a half‑day to a full day in Oconto: explore the riverfront park and Copper Culture State Park, then grab a bite at a downtown eatery.

Oconto is a small Northeastern Wisconsin city of about 4,500 people. Its main attractions – the historic riverfront breakwater park and the archaeological Copper Culture State Park – are close together and can be seen in a few hours. One overnight stay is enough for a relaxed visit, especially if you combine it with a day trip to nearby Green Bay or Door County.
