P ortage County, named for the portagethat was necessary between theWisconsin and Fox River, sits at the

crossroads of the Wisconsin River Valley andthe Central Sands Region. Nestled in thecenter of the state, its landscape is as diverseas the rich cultural fabric that represents itscommunities.

Most of thecounty is rural offering year-round recreationalopportunities, dotted with small communitieslike Junction City, Almond, Rosholt, Nelsonville,Park Ridge, Whiting and Amherst Junction.

When Stevens Point was first founded in1858, the logging industry and trading postsdefined the location. With help from theWisconsin River, the railroad and rich soil, thearea continues to prosper. Today, the area has adiverse economy, home to headquarters forsuch companies as Delta Dental, SentryInsurance, Travel Guard and Herrschners.Established in 1894, the University ofWisconsin–Stevens Point has been a staple inthe community. The 400-acre campus includes

the Schmeekle Reserve, a 280-acre naturepreserve which includes a 24-acre lake. TheUniversity also houses the WisconsinConservation Hall of Fame, Museum of NaturalHistory, Carlsten Art Gallery, Planetarium, and
