The Artful Escape

Looking for a getaway that sparks your creativity? Cambridge is filled with artistic treasures, charming shops, and inspiring spaces where every stop offers something beautiful to discover. Whether you're hunting for a one-of-a-kind gift, adding to your home décor, or simply enjoying a leisurely day exploring, this is the perfect place to let your imagination wander.

Start your stroll at Rowe Pottery, where handcrafted stoneware has been a Cambridge tradition for decades. Browse shelves lined with beautifully made mugs, bowls, serving pieces, and seasonal favorites, all created with the kind of quality and craftsmanship that never goes out of style. If you're lucky, you might even catch the artisans at work, giving you a behind-the-scenes look at how these timeless pieces come to life.

Just down the street, Art Hub is a must for anyone who loves creativity in all its forms. This community arts center features rotating exhibits showcasing regional artists, along with unique handmade gifts and opportunities to get creative yourself through workshops and special events. It's the kind of place that leaves you feeling inspired, whether you pick up a paintbrush or simply admire the work on display.

Your artistic stroll continues at Ruby Rose Gallery, where every corner is filled with something unexpected. From vibrant paintings and handcrafted jewelry to pottery, glass art, and gifts made by Wisconsin artists, it's the perfect place to find a meaningful souvenir that tells the story of your visit.

Of course, no Artful Escape is complete without taking time to simply enjoy downtown Cambridge. Wander the historic streets, pop into locally owned boutiques, stop for a coffee or lunch, and soak up the welcoming atmosphere that makes this village so much fun to explore.

A Tasty Tour

Embark on a flavorful journey through our village, where whiskey, wine, and craft beer tastings await. Cambridge proudly hosts a winery, a taphouse, Wisconsin’s largest distillery, and the state’s first Kentucky-style rickhouse.

Start with a tour at the Dancing Goat Distillery, where you'll learn how grain becomes signature spirits. After diving into the production and aging process, step into their spirits vault for an exclusive guided tasting. Taste a little, learn a lot, and share stories that have been crafted over decades. Next: the Cambridge Winery for lunch, featuring small plates, house-made pizzas, and premium wine flights from Wisconsin, California, and New York. And for those who love craft beer, don’t miss a visit to our lively Cambridge Taphouse, where you can sample a variety of locally brewed beers in a laid-back atmosphere.

Whether you're a connoisseur or a novice, our village offers a taste experience you won’t forget and keep you coming back for that next special release.

Our Great Outdoors

Enjoy fresh air and wide-open spaces in Cambridge, where adventure is never far away. Whether you're chasing the thrill of a mountain bike trail, paddling across sparkling water, or enjoying a peaceful walk surrounded by nature, you'll find plenty of reasons to spend the day outdoors.

If two wheels are your preferred mode of adventure, make CamRock Trails your first stop. Home to some of the best single-track mountain biking in southern Wisconsin, CamRock offers routes for riders of varying skill levels, along with scenic hiking and running trails that wind through woods, prairies, and along Koshkonong Creek. It's the kind of place where one loop often turns into two.

When it's time to cool off or simply relax, head to Ripley Park, Cambridge's favorite gathering place along the shores of beautiful Lake Ripley. Spend the afternoon at the sandy beach, launch a kayak or canoe, challenge your family to a round of disc golf, or enjoy a game of tennis, pickleball, basketball, or volleyball. With a playground, picnic shelters, and plenty of green space, there's something here for everyone.

Of course, no outdoor escape is complete without time on Lake Ripley itself. Bring your boat and launch from one of the public access points, cast a line for bass or walleye, paddle along the shoreline, or simply soak in the peaceful views. However you choose to enjoy it, the lake is the heart of Cambridge's outdoor lifestyle.

Before heading home, slow the pace with a visit to the Lake District Preserve. Wander the interpretive trail through restored wetlands, native prairie, and woodlands, stroll across the elevated boardwalk, and climb to the observation deck for sweeping marsh views. Keep an eye out for cranes, herons, turtles, and other wildlife, and don't forget to bring your four-legged hiking companion. Leashed dogs are welcome, too.
