Sawyer County Zone Districts

In my blog a couple of weeks ago I promised I would follow up with some interesting information about zone districts in Sawyer County from a land use comparison perspective. If you remember I asked what zone district comprised the greatest percentage of land use in the County; the answer is forestry at an outstanding 71%.

Our County comprises more than 1,354 square miles or about 866,560 acres. Of that there is more than 58,000 acres of total surface water area. More than 36% of the County is in public ownership.

See the numbers below that were graciously supplied by Eric Wellauer from Sawyer County Zoning along with his team in that office that worked to put this together. Draw your own conclusions but one thing I can tell you for sure, the water and woods of Sawyer County is why most of us live here and why others want to join us!

By the way, nearly 7000 people skied the Birkie here last weekend and it is snowing today so the trails for skiing and snowmobiling are excellent. The Hayward 300 Snowmobile Races are this weekend. Come on up and enjoy our great north woods.

Life Is Good....Enjoy!
