Shop & Eat Local for a True Taste of Elkhorn
Start your winter adventure by venturing into the downtown area where you’ll find a delightful assortment of local shops and restaurants. Start your day right at Friends on the Square with a warm cup of coffee and a pastry. Rumor has it, their ice cream is a great way to cool down after an afternoon shopping spree, because who doesn’t love ice cream in winter? Don’t worry, it’s still cold outside, but inside you'll feel like it's summer! For breakfast that'll knock your socks off, try Vasili’s Corner Café or The Elk. Trust me, their breakfast dishes are so good it’ll make you want to set your alarm three hours early! For lunch, head over to Los Tres Hermanos for some authentic tacos or treat yourself to heavenly Mandarin and Cantonese dishes at Moy’s. Plus, the homemade chicken pot pies at Someplace Else Restaurant are known to cure just about any winter blues. Seriously, it’s like a hug from Grandma in pie form!
Outdoor Adventures Await!
If you’ve got energy to burn after feasting, why not hit the great outdoors? Elkhorn's Sunset Park is a fantastic choice, boasting sledding hills that will have you racing against your buddies and pause only to catch your breath. If sledding is more your style, make sure to stay safe—no one wants to be that person who tumbles down the hill and ends up as the winter's mascot!
For those who prefer a more scenic adventure, check out the White River Trail, which begins just off County Highway H. Spanning 12 miles with its crushed limestone surface, it’s perfect for both hiking and biking. Just remember: for biking, you’ll need a trail pass. But hey, jogging and walking are free—how’s that for an exercise motivation? Getting the heartrate up while enjoying nature? Count me in! The outdoor fun doesn't stop here! Just outside Elkhorn, the Hansen Preserve awaits with its 77 acres along Sugar Creek, beckoning explorers to get outdoors and enjoy stunning natural beauty. Don’t forget your camera—this is where Instagram dreams come true!Fun Activities for Golf Enthusiasts
As the snow melts and spring peeks around the corner, Elkhorn transforms into a golfer’s paradise. Ever wanted to master your swing? Evergreen Golf Club offers a chance to tee off on 27 championship holes, and you might want to refuel with a Wisconsin fish fry afterwards. Because let me tell you, a full belly makes for a much better swing! If 27 holes seem daunting, try the Lauderdale Lakes Country Club. This compact 9-hole course is perfect for beginners or anyone looking to work on their short game—seriously, it’s like a driving range with built-in greens! And if you’re lucky enough, you might catch one of the stunning Wisconsin sunsets while you play. Golf and gorgeous vistas? Talk about a hole-in-one!
