An economic impact study reveals that Oconto County’s outdoor recreation economy is driven by an extraordinarily loyal visitor base, with a remarkable 97% of outdoor recreation visitors being repeat guests. The study found that anglers spend an average of $2,000 per group per visit, while ATV/UTV riders contribute $1,279 per trip.
