First off, Roche-A-Cri Lake is right at your doorstep. You’ve got a private pier and a sandy beach perfect for swimming, fishing, and just soaking up the sun. The lake is great for catching panfish, largemouth bass, northern pike, and walleye.
Hiking and Nature: Just a short drive away is Roche-A-Cri State Park. It’s a gem for hikers and nature lovers, with scenic trails and ancient rock formations. If you’re into birdwatching or just want a leisurely stroll, this park has you covered.
Activities and Museums: For some local history, check out the Adams County Historical Society Museum. It’s a quaint place packed with stories of the area. If you’re into more active pursuits, ATV/UTV and snowmobiles are welcome on the town roads, so bring your gear for some off-road fun.
Dining and Nightlife: For a classic Wisconsin experience, Mo's Pub and Grill is the place to be. It’s known for its Wisconsin Fish Fry. If you want to venture a bit further, head to Rome, WI.
