What the name doesn't tell you is the peace and harmony you're bound to feel as soon as you cross the border into our beautiful state. Here, Midwestern hospitality and friendliness is a way of life. Here, we welcome and invite visitors to share the rural treasures and city pleasures of our little corner of Wisconsin.

From rustic country byways to bustling towns to tiny villages, Southern Gateways offers something for everyone. Discover some of the Dairy State's best kept secrets, including Racine's crispy kringles, Monroe's mouth-watering cheeses, Madison's magnificent farmers' market and bucolic Burlington, known as Chocolate City, USA.

Get back to nature and revitalize yourself by bicycling along the Sugar River Trail, take a scenic hike through Southern Kettle Moraine State Forest or go for a refreshing dip into the pristine waters of Geneva Lake.

Catch a glimpse of Miracle, Rock County's white buffalo, step back in time at Old World Wisconsin in Eagle, tour Madison's majestic Capitol building, or just kick back and relax amongst the cows and cornfields of our countryside.

We invite you to discover - from lighthouses to silos, from county fairs to city festivals, why Southern Gateways is Wisconsin's premiere destination.
