Wisconsin Dells [30 minutes]
Lodi [10 minutes]
Lodi prides itself on its three city parks, the nine-hole golf course within its city limits, a public swimming pool, the absence of parking meters on its streets, and most of all, on Susie the Duck, the mallard (or her successor) who has made her home since 1948 in the masonry nest built especially for her and her flock at the Main Street bridge. Susie and her flock provide delightful entertainment for the visitor.
