Marinette is a friendly riverfront community on the Menominee River at the mouth of Green Bay, offering easy access to boating, fishing, hiking trails, a walkable downtown with local restaurants and seasonal events—an affordable, low‑stress base that’s pleasant to live in for multi‑week therapy assignments.
For bigger‑city options on weekends, Green Bay (about an hour south) provides major‑market amenities—pro sports, a regional airport, shopping and cultural venues—while Menominee, MI sits just across the river for extra dining and local events.
