Brown County State Park is a great place for hiking and getting out in nature. It is also known for mountain biking and has several challenging trails. In the warmer months you can go trail riding on horses. We love to walk around the lakes (Ogle and Stahl) and visit the lodge. It is home to many deer and wildlife!

Food scene
Hard Truth Hills Distillery is a family place to visit! Adults can set up a tour and tasting. The restaurant is large, and we love to sit out on the balcony. In nice weather, they have outdoor bands, a grill and a bar for quick eating at the picnic tables on the hill overlooking the bandstand. They also have several giant Jenga games and corn hole for family fun! If it gets a little chilly, you can warm up by the fire pit! Check out their website before you go to confirm their schedule.
