The Brodhead Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors would like to welcome you to our community! Brodhead is in the heart of Wisconsin’s Dairy Land in South Central Wisconsin! We have many wonderful things to offer: a diverse business community, deep-rooted farming community, and small town hospitality.
Brodhead is a small community of 3,200, with something for everyone: an eighteen hole golf course, 23 mile Sugar River State Trail for biking, hiking, cross country skiing & snowmobiling; a historic downtown, great school district, shops, bed & breakfasts, food, festivals and fun!
Running through the city is the Mill Race Waterway - a man-made tributary extending from the Sugar River. Local citizens funded the digging of this canal in the 1860's to provide water power for a mill, foundry, and other factories. Today the Race and Sugar River are perfect for tubes, kayaks, and canoes. This peaceful setting offers nature at its best for all to enjoy. In 2012 the "Embrace the Race" initiative was launched by by local citizens, and coming soon will be the "Pearl Island Recreational Corridor" development on the 180 acres between the river and the Race.
This unique setting has you covered if you are looking for tranquil beauty and relaxing activities. If you need to pick up the pace in a large metropolis, Brodhead is conveniently located within a two hour drive of Chicago, 40 minutes from Madison, 90 minutes from Milwaukee and an hour from Rockford. Escaping to Brodhead is guaranteed to be a refreshing experience and a decision you won't regret!
