Wisconsin Water Guide - Farmer Favorites - Gehrke Family

We can enjoy so many lakes, rivers and streams recreationally, to go boating and to swim in or take our kids fishing, including the Fox River close to our farm. See our Favorite Destination

Wisconsin Water Guide - Farmer Favorites - Hughes Family

The Rock River is known for fishing, boating and swimming. Clean water in our area is just as important for me as a resident here as it is as someone who's trying to farm. See our Favorite Destination

Wisconsin Water Guide - Farmer Favorites - Reu Family

We really enjoy fishing as a family on Pleasant Lake. A favorite memory is when our youngest son kept saying over and over he had a fish on his line, and we looked over and his pole was almost going to snap in half because he had the biggest catch of the day. See our Favorite Destination
