Buckle up for a crazy adventure with Discover Wisconsin host, Andrea Boehlke, as she rides the routes of Jefferson County this year with Jefferson County Parks Director, Kevin Wiesmann. The two fittingly start their adventure at Route 19 Cafe with the Jefferson County Snowmobile Alliance President and Trail Boss. Andrea and Kevin snowmobile over to Legendary Lake Mills for some frosty fun at the Knickerbocker Ice Festival on Rock Lake and in downtown Lake Mills. They top off a day of activities with an old fashioned and classic Wisconsin campfire treat at Dog and Shrub Distillery. <br /><br />As the summer sun warms up the trails, Kevin takes Andrea on a biking extravaganza. But first, they buzz their buds at Berres Brothers Coffee Roasters. Here they meet with the owner, Pete Berres, to learn more about one successful business right off the newly built Interurban Bike Trail that connects Watertown to Oconomowoc. After the caffeine kicks in, they head over to the Glacial River Trail to meet up with some Jefferson County locals at the red covered bridge. Resembling an old rail car, the bridge commemorates the railroad that underlies the bike trails. The crew bikes up to Jones Dairy Farm and Market in Fort Atkinson, where Andrea and Kevin cool off with an ice cream treat and a chat with the owner, Philip Jones. The two end the day across the street at Jones Park where they cheer on the Generals Baseball team. <br /><br />As the summer continues, Andrea and Kevin find a bit of calm along the Rock River with Jeanne Scherer, a local birdwatcher. After a scenic lunch at Heron’s Landing, the three explore the Jefferson County bird scene while paddling along the river. The wildlife continues with a brief stop at Goat Island where Andrea, Kevin and Jeanne find laughable amusement in their new four-legged friends. After docking at 2 Rivers Bicycle and Outdoor shop, they recap their day over some soft serve at Fort Atkinson’s local ice cream joint, Frostie Freeze. <br /><br />After a peaceful ride along the river, Andrea was ready to rev it up. Fortunately, Jefferson County is no desert when it comes to speed. Home to three national powersports companies, Jefferson County is a fountain of action and Andrea was ready to drink some up adrenaline. She and Kevin meet up at Rob’s Performance Motorsports to chat with the owner, Rob Strauss and SOAR member, Steve Habeck. Here Andrea and Kevin learn about SOAR’s welcoming environment, camaraderie and generosity throughout the greater community. Steve and a number of SOAR members take Andrea and Kevin on a group ride to Aztalan State Park. Here they receive a short history lesson on Wisconsin’s first town from local archeologist, Bob Birmingham. Andrea and Kevin end their ride with the SOAR crew at the Jefferson Speedway where they cheer on the drivers and even experience the track themselves.<br /><br />After riding the routes in Jefferson County with Kevin this year, Andrea has discovered a number of amazing places, learned an incredible amount of route history and met numerous extraordinary people. These routes connect people to Jefferson County towns, businesses, the past and to each other.<br /><br />#discoverwisconsin #jeffersoncountywisconsin #JeffersonCountyParks #KorthPark #DorothyCarnes #CarnesPark #GRT #BWAV #CarlinWeld #fortatkinson #jeffersonwisconsin #johnsoncreek #watertownwisconsin #waterloowisconsin #lakemills #route19cafe #knickerbockericefestival #rocklake #dogandshrubdistillery #berresbrothers #glacialrivertrail #jonesdairyfarm #jonesparkfortatkinson #heronslandingjefferson #rockriver #frostiefreeze #robsperformancemotorsports #aztalanstatepark #jeffersonspeedway<br /><br />Love Wisconsin?

Today, on Discover Wisconsin, we head to Jefferson County to sit with the owners of Tyranena and Hubbleton Brewing Company. Two breweries that are built on more than just beer and that exemplify what Jefferson County is all about - Community.<br /><br />Follow Jefferson County on: <br />Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JeffersonCountyWI.Gov/<br />Instagram: @jeffersoncountywi.gov<br /><br />Another summer day with skies so blue calls for more great company with homemade brews! And unlike Tyranena, Hubbelton is in the middle of nowhere! But at Hubbelton, they’ll tell you “it’s only hard to find once.” <br /><br />Originally an old maintenance shed, Hubbleton was built from the ground up by Dan and his son Mike. And they were definitely right when they said “it’s only hard to find once.” Once discovered, people have no problem finding Hubbelton again. With a lot of handiwork, a lot of passion and a little craziness, Dan, Mike and Tom have transformed this “no man’s land” into every man’s land. <br /><br />The brewery’s rustic imperfections and midwestern sensibility remind us that it’s the sense of home and people we are with that make sharing conversation over a beer so great.<br /><br />#jeffersoncountywisconsin<br />#jeffersonwisconsin<br />#tyranena<br />#hubbletonbrewing<br />#beer<br />#breweries<br /><br /><br />Love Wisconsin?

Outdoor recreation meets small town living! Halfway between Madison and Milwaukee, Jefferson County is a rural oasis of activity. <br /><br />With over 450 miles of snowmobile and club trails, it’s easy to trade out the beaten path for a rustic escape through the frosted trees. Local parks also provide a picturesque backdrop for snowshoeing and skiing. The Jefferson County Dog Park provides your pupper a whopping 109 acres for roaming and running! <br /><br />Legendary Lake Mills kicks it into gear each winter with the Knickerbocker Ice Festival, where the community comes together. A hand-carved ice bar, ice softball and ice golf will be sure to keep your blood moving. The winter madness continues downtown with ice carving, ice skating and even ice cream! <br /><br />As the snow melts, the Jefferson County trails come to life. The locals hit up The Glacial River Trail for a bike ride or pleasant walk through the Wisconsin countryside. With local hot spots to conveniently jump off at, one can explore a number of towns along the route and even snag a tasty frozen treat! <br /><br />The River trails in Jefferson County are aquatic byways that offer a scenic atmosphere for paddling, fishing and even birdwatching. Jefferson County parks also provide a diverse array of restful and natural spaces. Aztalan is one such park that also transports us back in time. Wisconsin’s first town, this park's beauty is matched by its historical awe. <br /><br />Finally we get into the mood for adventure. With three nationally recognized powersports companies that retail sea-doos, dirt bikes, snowmobiles, and motorcycles, this County knows speed. There’s no need to solo the open road either. Spyder Owners and Ryders (SOAR) invites the motorcycling community to come together for some “wind therapy.” And the breeze really picks up at the Jefferson Speedway, where drivers get their dose of adrenaline.<br /><br />So there you have it! From the tranquil riverways and rural bike routes to the winter trails and country roads, it really is here in Jefferson County where outdoor recreation meets small town living!<br /><br />#JeffersonCounty #OutdoorActivities #Fort Atkinson #LegendaryLakeMills #Snowmobiling #RockRiver #Biking #Hiking #Kayaking #BirdWatching #IceBar #Tyranena #Rob’sPerformanceMotorsports #SOAR #DogPark #GlacialRiverTrail<br /><br /><br />Love Wisconsin?

“Say CHEESE!” Today on Discover Wisconsin, we take a snapshot of Jefferson County’s dairy industry. Kraemer Wisconsin Cheese and Crave Brother Farmstead Cheese have both made a name for themselves that stretches beyond Wisconsin’s borders. Its humble beginnings as a small 1920s dairy farm in Watertown, Kraemer Cheese has refined its business over the past century attesting to their key ingredients of hard work, great people and a sprinkle of good luck. A family-owned business, its third generation now runs and operates the Kraemer Dairy Store that offers a menu of Wisconsin’s finest cheeses and a variety of house-made cheese spreads. <br /><br />A farmer’s toss away, in Watertown, Crave Brothers Cheese is busy at work. Another family-owned business is redefining the process of sustainable dairy farming. A true farmstead, Crave houses an anaerobic methane digester, uses 100% Green Energy, and practices carbon negative recyclable packaging. Today, we experience the past meeting the present as the fourth generation of dairy farmers take on new challenges while offering up novel ideas in the dairy industry. <br /><br />We “curd” you not! Jefferson County’s dairy community is a one of a kind CULTURE!<br /><br />Love Wisconsin?
