Recreation in Fort Atkinson

Whether you enjoy dipping your feet in the water or prefer dry land, Fort Atkinson has an abundance of exciting leisure opportunities. The meandering Bark and Rock Rivers both lead to the 10,500 acre Lake Koshkonong, where fishing and boating opportunities are all at arm’s length. You can also take advantage of our new bike/pedestrian trail that runs directly through downtown, which can also be used for cross-country skiing and snow shoeing in the winter. Or try skydiving, canoeing, horseback riding and so many of our other recreational opportunities. We can guarantee you won’t get bored!
