Reedsburg, in the heart of bicycling country, also features the Norman Rockwell Museum, and close by in Baraboo is the Circus World Museum and Lake State Park. Baraboo is also very near Wisconsin Dells, a major destination for many tourists throughout the USA and abroad. The Dells is one of three areas on the globe that has Precambrian rock formations. During the "season", continuous boat tours journey up and down the breathtaking Wisconsin River transporting fascinated crowds of people. Going up river on one of the cruise boats on a warm night to the spectacular Winnebago Indian Ceremony at Stand Rock, and coming back down under a full moon moves the hearts of those who have chosen this route. Witch's Gulch, with its sandstone rock formations towering straight up hundreds of feet is a "must see" also, as well as the Winnebago Trading Post and Museum along North River Road. The impressive International Crane Foundation is also in the Dells area. And the commercial aspects of Wisconsin Dells may interest some; especially those families with children. These include water parks, water shows, miniature golf and of course, shopping!
