It’s All Outdoors

IT’S ALL OUTDOORS

here’s always something to do in Burlington! No matter the time of year, you’re sure to find something to enjoy in our great outdoors. Spring and Summer are bursting with color and full of fun and exciting opportunities to enjoy the warmer months. Spend an afternoon canoeing down the Fox River, golfing, hiking or biking one of our many trails, lounging around at the Fischer County Park beach, boating on one of our four area lakes, or fishing on the banks of the White River.

Additional canoe and kayak launches can be found at Case Eagle Park above and below the Rochester Dam. They are easily accessible from the parking lot within the park and allow water recreation on the Fox River south into and through Burlington or north into Waterford.

Fall is a wonderful time to get out and explore all that Burlington has to offer! Spectacular scenes await you in late September and early October with the great variety of trees that Southeastern Wisconsin provides. Taking a drive or a bike ride along one of our seven Rustic Roads (the most of any Wisconsin County) is a great way to see our brilliant fall colors.

Rustic road maps can be found in this Guide Book as well as online at www.dot.wisconsin.gov.

The winter months hold much beauty and excitement on the many lakes and rivers surrounding Burlington. Whether you enjoy skating, hockey, fishing/ice fishing, snowmobiling, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, or making snow angels, one thing is for sure – when it comes to winter fun, Burlington has it all!

In addition to all of the outdoor possibilities found all over Burlington, we also have John Margis Wildlife Area just south on Fish Hatchery Road, north of Bohner’s Lake. This area has paths which lead to a marsh for wildlife viewing and beautiful overlooks within the wildlife area.

Just east of Burlington is our local State Recreation Area. Richard Bong State Recreation Area is open year-round offering camping, nature classes, and 41.1 miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking, cross-country skiing, horseback riding, snowshoeing, and dirt bike riding.

With options like these, you’ll see why Burlington is the perfect destination for outdoor fun all year long!
