Welcome to the Town of Russell, located in Lincoln County. 

It does not matter if it is Spring, Summer, Fall or Winter, the place we call home is what country living is all about. In the Spring and Summer take in the beauty of the Prairie River and maybe even get in some great Trout Fishing. In the Fall, take part in the hunt or enjoy the scenic fall colors. When it gets cold, the Town of Russell actually gets hot with the Gleason Winter Ice Oval snowmobile Races. But if you prefer the quiet side, we have many cross country ski trails to explore.

It's time to Experience the Natural Beauty of the Northwoods in the Town of Russell!
