Pickerel is a small, unincorporated community located in the beautiful northeast part of Langlade County, Wisconsin, in the United States. An "unincorporated community" means it's a place where people live, but it doesn't have its own official local government like a city or a village. Instead, it's part of a larger area called the town of Langlade.
Pickerel is easy to find, right on Wisconsin Highway 55. It's about 19 miles (30 kilometers) northeast of Antigo, which is the main city and county seat of Langlade County. Even though it's a small community, Pickerel has its own post office, where people can send and receive mail. The ZIP code for Pickerel is 54465.
