Welcome to Wilma Township
Welcome to Wilma
Township! Our community is located along the eastern edge of Pine
County in East Central Minnesota. We are nestled between the St.
Croix State and the Nemadji State forests. We value our family,
farms, rural residences, recreational cabins, creeks, woods and

pheasants. Many visitors come to this area to enjoy the forests,
camping, snowmobiling, four wheeling and more. We are about
six miles West of the famous Gandy Dancer Trail and 18 miles East of
Sandstone.
