Playground

Right on N Water St, this spot sits close enough to the beach that you can hear the river if the wind’s right. It’s one of those places that actually thinks about accessibility, which isn’t something every small Wisconsin town gets right. St. Feriole Island Park is basically your backyard here, and Villa Louis is just down the road if you want to make a full afternoon of it. Honestly, the setting does a lot of the heavy lifting — Prairie du Chien is a pretty great backdrop for a casual family outing.
