With spring’s arrival, the urge to get outdoors grows by leaps and bounds. Fortunately, there are plenty of great parks, trails, and more where you can get outdoors and enjoy the scenery, whether staying active or just relaxing. The Stoughton Recreation Trail is a multi-use trail that is ideal for walking, jogging, bicycling, and rollerblading. The trail follows a former railroad corridor and offers beautiful countryside views, as well as connections to neighborhoods and parks.

Another great outdoors spot is Viking County Park located on the Yahara River downstream of Lake Kegonsa. This is a great option for anyone with a dog, thanks to the fenced dog park that includes two dog beaches. There’s also a small reservable picnic shelter, as well as a trail and various locations for shore fishing.

If you have dreams of taking to the stage, The Stoughton Village Players offers up the opportunity to take part in community theater, whether on the stage or behind it. Founded in 1972, they have produced more than 70 dramas, comedies, musicals and much more. Of course, you can always just be an audience member and enjoy the three to four productions they put on each year, which includes the annual Syttende Mai play, which is written by Village Players members.

Whether you have Norwegian heritage or not, you don’t want to miss the Norwegian Heritage Center – Livsreise. This museum – Livsreise translates to “Life’s Journey” – located in downtown Stoughton, is much more than a typical history museum. This is an interactive experience, in which visitors get to choose their vocation, pack their bag, buy a ticket to America, and experience the history and stories of those Norwegians who played a significant part in the Stoughton legacy.

These are just a few of the activities and attractions that make up Stoughton. There’s plenty of great shopping, dining, and other entertainment, making it a great place to call home.
