Black River Falls

Located along I-94, Black River Falls in Black River Country is a convenient destination for outdoor adventure. Mountain bikers, hikers, and birdwatchers can explore miles of wilderness trails in either the Black River State Forest or the Jackson County Forest, home to black bear, timber wolves, and the endangered Karner Blue butterfly. Black River Country also offers 235 miles of the best designated ATV and single-track motorcycle trails in the Midwest.

The winding Black River is popular for canoeing, boating, tubing and great fishing. Wazee Lake, the deepest lake in Wisconsin and one of the clearest, is a popular year-round scuba diving destination. Along the area’s quiet country roads you’ll find unique shops and antiques dealers – the perfect combination for the weekend treasure hunter. Stroll through downtown Black River Falls to see the historical murals that tell the town's story, or stop in at Sand Creek Brewery for a tour. Ho-Chunk Gaming offers the very best in gaming when you're ready to come inside.
