Exploring Hidden Gems on the Great River Road - Southern Wisconsin

Our adventure on the Great River Road continues! This time, we’re exploring the southern portion of Wisconsin’s Great River Road, a scenic stretch along the Mississippi River filled with history, hidden gems, and unforgettable views.

From the dazzling Dickeyville Grotto to the National Brewery Museum in Potosi, this journey is packed with quirky attractions, fascinating stories, and plenty of photo-worthy stops. We’ll ride the Cassville Ferry across the Mississippi, soak in sweeping views from Wisconsin’s state parks, and step inside the grand Villa Louis Mansion in Prairie du Chien. And because no trip is complete without a little fun, we even end our day with a stop at Cabela’s—because yes, shopping counts as sightseeing here!

Traveling this portion of the Great River Road is all about slowing down, taking in river views, exploring charming small towns, and experiencing Wisconsin history in a whole new way. Whether you’re planning your own road trip or just love armchair adventures, join us as we uncover the best things to eat, see, and do along Wisconsin’s Great River Road.
