About Manawa, Wisconsin
Located in lovely Manawa, WI (Rodeo City), we are surrounded by woods, lakes and trails, perfect for hiking, biking, bird watching and plenty of other outdoor activities. Year-round there’s always plenty of fun such as the Manawa rodeo, the Iola car show, the Iola Winter Carnival, the Waupaca Strawberry Festival and, in early December, Santa Land is one of our personal favorites. The Manawa area also offers some great restaurants and many other wonderful things.
