The Town of Lake Tomahawk is a civil town in Oneida County in Wisconsin's Northwoods, on the Minocqua Chain of Lakes southeast of Minocqua and Woodruff. Its 2020 Census population was 1,155 and Wisconsin's official January 1, 2025 estimate is 1,159. It is a small, lake- and forest-rich, tourism-oriented community governed by an elected three-member town board (Chairman George DeMet), served for K-8 by the Minocqua J1 (MHLT) School District, and best known as the self-styled Home of Snowshoe Baseball. Population, geography, officials, meeting schedule, notices, and the school district here bind to primary state (DOA), Census Gazetteer, the town's own official site, and the district's own site; ACS income and age figures and lake acreages remain flagged where only secondary sources were reachable.
