A Great Place to Work, Live, and Play! - 8/1/2016
Shawano, Wisconsin is between the Wolf River and Shawano Lake. There's plenty to do here all year! If you like fishing, swimming, hunting, boating, biking, or just about any outdoor activity - you can do it here! The Mountain Bay Trail is well maintained and perfect for bikers, walkers, and runners. Last year Shawano Pathways added even more options for using the trails! Shawano Parks and Rec is working on all the parks this year, with Franklin Park being completely re-done!

The law enforcement there is extremely crooked. Many of Shawano County's laws are not upheld anywhere else in Wisconsin. In fact the FBI and other Federal agencies are currently monitoring the entire Shawano municipality system. The average
