Lenroot is an unincorporated town (a Wisconsin county subdivision, not an incorporated village or city) in northwest Sawyer County, adjacent to the city of Hayward, whose town hall carries a Hayward mailing address on US Highway 63. Its 2020 population was 1,337 across roughly 82 square miles, more than half of which is public land, and its defining natural asset is Nelson Lake, a large flowage on the Totogatic River, together with a 12-plus-mile stretch of the Namakagon River. The town is governed by an elected town board (chairman plus supervisors) that meets the second Monday of each month, children attend the Hayward Community School District, and the local identity is Northwoods recreation: ATV, UTV and snowmobile trails, mountain-bike trails, and a long segment of the American Birkebeiner ski trail.
