Fond du Lac, on the southern shore of Lake Winnebago, makes a comfortable, livable base for multi‑week assignments with a walkable downtown of restaurants, breweries and boutique shops, waterfront parks and trails, seasonal farmers’ markets and festivals, and an affordable small‑city vibe that’s easy to settle into between shifts.
When you want more to do, Milwaukee and Madison are within easy driving distance for big‑city museums, lively dining and nightlife, and airport access—so you get a relaxed home base plus quick weekend options.
