Chain O' Lakes is a census-designated place in the towns of Farmington and Dayton, Waupaca County, Wisconsin, United States. Its population was 981 as of the 2010 census.[1] Before 2010, it was part of the Chain O' Lakes-King CDP. It consists of twenty-two lakes connected by channels, natural openings, and creeks. In the Menominee language, the chain of lakes are called Kūwicīqsow-Nepēhsaeh.[3] This name refers to how the shape is like that of the sacred double ball game, a game similar to lacrosse traditionally played by women of the various nations indigenous to Wisconsin.[4]
