New Lisbon, The Friendly City!

Nestled along the beautiful Lemonweir River in central Wisconsin, New Lisbon is a community rich in history and natural charm. According to Native American folklore, the area once served as a winter hunting and trapping ground. Years Later, New Lisbon grew into a lively railroad hub, supporting both local industries and passenger travel during its peak. 

Located just off Interstate 90/94 (Exit 61), New Lisbon offers quick access to many of Wisconsin's most popular destinations. The Lemonweir River and nearby Castle Rock Lake provide excellent fishing, boating, and summer recreation, along with snowmobiling opportunities in the winter. Head south for a short drive to the Wisconsin Dells or reach Madison in under two hours. To the north, La Crosse is easily accessible via the Interstate or the scenic Highway 12 & 16. 

New Lisbon is a friendly, peaceful place to begin your adventure. Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to explore, including fishing, boating, hiking, cross-country skiing, ATV riding, and snowmobiling. The Elroy-Sparta State Bike Trail and the Omaha Trail are also close by, offering beautiful routes for biking and siteseeing.
