Marinette County borders Michigan and features heavily forested terrain with numerous rivers and lakes. The Menominee River forms the eastern boundary, while the Peshtigo River system drains much of the interior.

Agriculture is limited by extensive forest cover, with small dairy farms and hay production in scattered clearings. Many operations are part-time or combined with forestry activities, focusing on crops suited to the northern climate.
