Just 1.5 hours from the Twin Cities, nestled comfortably within a landscape of winding riverways, soaring pines and incredible wetlands, you’ll find Burnett County, Wisconsin.

Boasting over 500 pristine lakes and nearly 80 miles of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, Burnett County is a haven for water enthusiasts of all types.  From canoeing to swimming, fishing and ice fishing, memorable moments on our waters are yours for the taking, year-round.

But the fun doesn’t stop where the water meets the shoreline!  Our natural spaces are second to none – enjoy a leisure hike, bike ride, or auto tour on one of our many scenic trailways or take advantage of over 50,000 acres of Wildlife areas, including our very own Wetlands Gem, Crex Meadows.

Burnett County Fun's website, phone system, and email account are operated by staff from the Burnett County Tourism Coalition.

The Burnett County Tourism Coalition (BCTC) was established as a 501(c)6 nonprofit organization in 2017.  BCTC is not a county or state organization, but an independent community organization whose mission is to Grow Tourism in Burnett County.  The Coalition is privately funded through donations, fundraising, and contributions from Burnett County.

BCTC is governed by a Board of Directors elected at its annual meeting in February.  Board members are residents, business owners, and members of the area Chambers of Commerce.  Anyone who has interest in county tourism can run for a two-year term.  The Board sets annual goals and manages a $40,000 annual budget.

The Coalition employs four part-time staff: a director, a marketing coordinator, a project coordinator, and a part-time student intern.
