Palmyra, Wisconsin is located near the heart of the 16,700 acre, southern unit of the Kettle Moraine State Forest, hence its slogan: "The Heartbeat of the Kettle Moraine." A friendly community of some 1,700 residents in the village and another 1,200 in the surrounding rural township who call Palmyra "home", we welcome visitors to our restaurants, retail shops and services, parks churches, library, historic museum and other attractions.
Only minutes away are some of the best hiking, mountain biking and nordic skiing trails in the midwest including a 30 mile segment of the acclaimed Ice Age National Scenic Trail. Bicycle touring routes and snowmobile trails lead right into town and miles of equestrian trails plus a state forest campground just for horse riders are at the Village's doorstep.
Summer days are ideal for fishing on Lower Spring Lake or Blue Spring Lake, or diving off the raft at the swimming beach, or picnicking at one of Palmyra's village parks. For aviation enthusiasts, recreational aircraft pilots enjoy easy landings at the town's 2,100 foot all-season turf runway.
Some of the most productive agricultural land in Wisconsin is located just to the northwest of the Village, in the Scuppernong Valley. In the summer fields of carrots, onions potatoes, corn and other produce stretch as far as one can see.
Whatever your interests may be: actively enjoying the outdoors in the State Forest, viewing the autumn colors along the Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive, searching out new and interesting shops and restaurants. Palmyra, "the heartbeat of the Kettle Moraine" may be just what you've been looking for.
