If Oconomowoc area residents aren't hard at work, chances are they're out enjoying the area's myriad cultural and recreational activities and events. Oconomowoc's many lakes and rolling woodlands are the setting for four seasons of outdoor recreation. For generations, summer has been an especially popular time to get out and enjoy the area's amenities. The area's rivers, lakes, and ponds make it perfect for the whole range of water activities, including swimming, water-skiing, sailboarding, fishing, and boating of all types.

The City of Oconomowoc's Parks and Recreation Department administers 33 parks, and sponsors activities and fitness programs for youths and adults. Area parks accommodate biking, hiking, camping, picnicking, and nature watching, and fields and facilities for every sport that uses a ball.

A year-round recreational asset in the Oconomowoc area is the Lake Country Trail, a multi-use recreational trail running from Waukesha to Oconomowoc. During spring, summer and fall, the 15-mile trail is used by bicyclists, in-line skaters, hikers and joggers. In winter, it’s open to skiers.

Winter comes with even more reasons to play outside in the Oconomowoc area. With frozen lakes, it's time for ice fishing, figure skating, hockey games, and ice boating. The snow-covered countryside is ideal for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and sledding.
