(5 min from Viroqua) There's water you can swim in, and a rope swing for the adventurous. Super fun -- just be careful and make sure nobody is in front of you before swinging! Monika (Tatiana's mom) can tell you all about getting hit by someone on that rope.
(10 min from Viroqua) Awesome, kid-friendly nature spot. Sandy beach, not too deep, slow creek, and tons of butterflies. (The creek runs right behind the plant nursery there. You’ll see a culvert leading to a pond -- you’ll see where you can walk across it and over a small hill, and then you’ll see the beach to the right.)
