Winter on the Sauk Prairie Riverway: Embrace the Joy of Missing Out
Winter in the Sauk Prairie Riverway isn’t about rushing from place to place—it’s about slowing down, noticing the little things, and enjoying the season at your own pace. This year, make space for JOMO: the Joy of Missing Out. Trade the crowded slopes and busy malls for snowy trails, crisp river views, and cozy moments you’ll actually remember.
❄️ Wander the Winter Trails
Take a quiet hike along our scenic trails, where snow crunches underfoot and every turn offers a new view. Keep your eyes peeled for local wildlife, from deer to foxes, and don’t forget your binoculars—our winter bird-watching opportunities are spectacular, with bald eagles, hawks, and winter songbirds gracing the skies.
❄️ Frosty Fun, Your Way
Whether you strap on skis, hit the ice, or just bundle up for a peaceful walk, the Riverway is ready for your kind of adventure. Prefer staying warm? Pop into a local café for a hot drink and soak in the riverside views.
❄️ Cozy Stops Along the Way
JOMO isn’t about missing out—it’s about choosing what makes you happiest. Visit a local winery, brewery, or bakery. Explore charming shops. Pause, savor, and connect with what matters most.Don’t Miss: Sauk Prairie Bald Eagle Watching Days | January 17-18
