Welcome to the Town of Sherman

The Town of Sherman, containing the historical Springstead Area, is a beautiful land of forests, lakes and streams that has not been over commercialized or over populated. It’s a secluded spot to rest and relax or actively participate in outdoor recreation and the life of the community.

The Town of Sherman is 115 square miles in size. Contained within those miles are 55 lakes with 3,000 acres of surface waters and 79 miles of shoreline.

In addition the Town of Sherman is the southern gateway to the Turtle-Flambeau Flowage. The Flowage is the largest publicly owned water resource in the State of Wisconsin and has been identified as a “Legacy Place” in the Wisconsin Land Legacy Report (An Inventory of Places Critical in Meeting Wisconsin’s Future Conservation and Recreation Needs). This southern gateway access is located at Springstead Landing at the end of Flowage Road in the township. As a north woods town 80% of our land cover is forest and wetlands.

Our year around population is approximately 300 people and doubles between late spring and fall with the return of our seasonal residents. There is an active social life in the community as reflected on our town calendar. Our municipal complex is located on STH 182 as are some of our businesses. The resorts and restaurants we enjoy are located off of our many rustic roads.
