We are only .4 miles to public swimming and a boat launch in the Mississippi River at the Wyalusing Recreation Area.  Wyalusing State Park is 3 miles away and offers great views of the Mississippi and Wisconsin Rivers as well as hiking, biking, canoeing, kayaking, basketball court, picnic areas, fishing, an astronomy center and more.  In the winter they have cross country ski trails as well as winter hiking and snowshoeing, there are also UTV trails in the area to enjoy.

Prairie du Chien is about 10 miles by car or about 4 miles upriver and there you will find golf courses, mini golf, go carts, movie theater, bowling, shopping (including a quilt shop), boat rentals and Cabella’s/ Bass Pro.

Across the river in Iowa are many fun towns to explore including Marquette (which has Effigy Mounds National Monument), McGregor (which has another beautiful State Park) and Elkader (which has the Turkey River flowing through it).
