Enjoy a round of golf with Dad at one of the golf courses in Jefferson County for Father’s Day.
There are golf courses near Jefferson County in Jefferson, Whitewater (Spring Creek and Willow Brook), Cottage Grove, and Oconomowoc.
10. Go Fishing & Reel in a Good Time 🎣
Slow down and cast a line and catch up with Dad this Father’s Day. The Rock River and Rock Lake are two great places to fish. And as the saying goes, “A bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work.”

11. Bike the Trails 🚴🏼♂️
Enjoy a quiet afternoon while getting some exercise together. Enjoy fresh air in the woods, scenic farmland, and rolling hills on the Glacial Drumlin State Trail or the Jefferson County Interurban Trail between Watertown and Ixonia.
12. Bum at the Beach 🏖
How about heading to the beach to grill out for Father’s Day? Lake Mills has two great beaches to choose from: Sandy Beach and Bartel’s Beach on Rock Lake.
If you head east to Oconomowoc, you can bum at Bender Beach. Or head west to Cambridge and spend a day at Lake Ripley Beach.
13. Play or Watch Baseball ⚾️
Head outside and play catch with dad, gather the neighborhood families for a pick-up game, or head to a nearby stadium to watch “America’s Pastime”: Baseball!
Check out your local baseball leagues, such as Home Talent, to catch a game. Or it’s a pretty easy drive to watch the DockHounds play in Oconomowoc, the Mallards play in Madison, or the Brewers play in Milwaukee.
