Welcome to Kenosha, a Wisconsin Harbor Town.
Kenosha County is located in the far southeast corner of the state and is comprised of the City of Kenosha, plus 11 villages and towns that together create a welcoming sense of place for those who live, work, and visit here.
The county stretches from the scenic Lake Michigan shore to the rural countryside. Kenosha is conveniently accessible via Interstate 94/41 and the Metra Union Pacific North Line — which is the train line out of Chicago, Illinois — as well as by boat and by air.
Kenosha is a friendly and affordable destination. You’ll find a variety of indoor and outdoor events, a plethora of locally owned shops and restaurants, and numerous year-round and seasonal attractions. Lodging options include traditional hotels, lakeside rooms, a retro-chic three-bedroom upper flat, historic boutiques with rooftop bars, and a state recreation area for camping.
Among our most attractive features, nearly 90 percent of our Lake Michigan shoreline is publicly accessible, with beaches, parks, biking and walking paths, a sculpture walk, lighthouses and festival places welcoming you. Located just seven miles from the Interstate is Lake Michigan and Downtown Kenosha — with five museums, authentic Electric Streetcars, art galleries, shops, restaurants, and more.
Whether looking for a lakefront travel destination, a weekend getaway, a place between Milwaukee and Chicago to meet friends, or a Great Lake on which to go charter fishing, we invite you to explore Kenosha.
