Don't Miss - Hidden Valleys of Southwestern Wisconsin

Richland County
. . . not a secret anymore!
www.co.richland.wi.us
Richland County is the “Wisconsin” that everybody's
talking about! Long ago, the Ocooch Mountains
survived the glaciers, and to our benefit,
that provided us with the steeply wooded hillsides, lush
valleys, rich farmland, and many beautiful sandstone and
limestone bluffs for which Richland County is known.
We also have over 267 miles of naturally stocked trout
streams and wonderful habitat areas for our deer and
wild turkey populations. Bird watchers delight in the
variety and number of birds, including pheasants, quail,
kingfishers, eagles, hawks, woodpeckers, finches,
herons, cranes, owls, and more. And if variety is what
you're looking for, we not only have a wide variety of
cattle, but you’ll find horses, llamas, sheep, and bison
here as well.
In Richland County you live and breathe the
wholesomeness of small town America, a blend of ethnicrich
cultural and rural heritage. As you roam the back
roads, people wave at you from their fields and porches,
they greet you on the sidewalks and in stores, and you may
even find that you feel more at home here than you do at home.

Richland County is on the Highway
14 scenic route between LaCrosse and
Madison. We’re also halfway between
Minneapolis and Chicago . . . and ours
is the enjoyable, relaxing ride. Our
roads and highways are among the most
scenic in the country, winding along
valley bottoms, flanked by towering hills,
climbing the ridges, dipping down into the
hollows and then back to the top of the
hills. Backroad enthusiasts return year
after year for the panoramic views offered
at every turn. Our hardwood forests are
rich with vibrant fall colors from late
September through mid-October. The
farm fields offer their own display of
patchwork quilts in the fall, made up of
yellow, gold, brown and green, and draped
over the valleys. Springtime in Richland
County is noted for wildflower blooms, the
