Dodge County in central Wisconsin is a paradise for outdoor adventurers who like to fish, canoe, kayak, swim, or otherwise spend time in and around the water.
The county’s lakes—including Beaver Dam Lake, one of the largest in the state—are popular spots for fishing and boating, and smaller lakes like Lake Emily and Lost Lake offer a less-crowded space for canoeing and kayaking.
The Crawfish River and the Rock River also pass through Dodge County, providing additional opportunities for paddling, fishing, and sightseeing. Many Dodge County parks provide easy access to the area’s lakes and rivers, so there’s no reason not to explore these wonderful waterways.
