Visitor & Driver Tips

During winter months, exercise caution as central Wisconsin weather can bring heavy snowfall and icy conditions; park within defined areas to allow municipal snowplows to operate efficiently. When visiting during community festival weekends or local sports tournaments, plan for slightly higher traffic along Prospect Avenue and arrive a few minutes early to secure your preferred spot. Always remember to turn off headlights, lock your vehicle, and store valuable personal belongings out of plain sight.
