Food scene
The Wabegon is a surprise. It presents as a country dive bar - which it is, but you walk in and there's also a family restaurant and deck.
The burgers are excellent and they're on special on Wednesdays.
Friday is their famous Fish Fry, which always sells out.
Be warned the beer comes in three sizes: small, medium, and large. The large is essentially a bucket -- Hello, Wisconsin!

This was a US Steel flagship and is in excellent condition. The tour is station-to-station so go at your own pace. Great photo ops behind the big steering wheel and of the lift bridge off the fantail. You also get a fun paper hat at the end of the tour!

Swimming
This spot was recently posted for not swimming, FYI.
If you stop at the parking area where the William Munger State Trail crosses E Hwy 210 before the state park, it's a short trail walk to our favorite swimming spot.
We'd love to tell you exactly how to get there.

This is one of my favorite swimming places on earth. You can park in Chester Park's lot, cross Skyline Parkway, and head down the trail on either side - we tend to select the right-hand side (west).
You'll get there in about 15 minutes, passing a few waterfalls along the way.
It's ridiculous that this is right in town.
