People of all ages find Dodge County
a unique destination for family fun.

With an affordable array of year-round recreational and educational events and activities, children and adults alike will enjoy exploring Dodge County’s treasures together.

Families love bicycling and hiking Wild Goose State Trail, a 32-mile trail that is safe and offers easy riding. Another family favorite is Federal Trails, which offers six miles of connecting trails within Horicon Marsh off Highway 49, including a quarter-mile wooden boardwalk where you float on the water and through the cattails.

You choose the season for indoor or outdoor fun in and on the water. During warmer months, experience Dodge County on a boat tour, canoe, kayak or water skis. Bring your fishing gear to fish from your boat or off the shore; otherwise a pail and shovel will do just fine on one of the swimming beaches. If you’re looking for an indoor experience, try one of the hotels or a 227 foot tubeslide at the Tag Center.

No matter which time of the year you visit Dodge County, you are sure to see numerous birds. Bring a pair of binoculars and watch your children have fun locating and learning about birds in their natural habitat.

Find family-friendly restaurants and delis that showcase the state’s favorite samplings, such as Friday fish fry, cheese and sausage, made-from-scratch fruit pies and everyone’s favorite – ice cream.

There are numerous lodging options, both indoor and outdoor, including camping at one of the county parks or relaxing at a clean, reasonably-priced hotel or motel.
