Brodhead, WI

Tucked along the Sugar River on the border of Green and Rock counties, Brodhead offers a quiet, friendly small-town atmosphere with easy access to Madison, Janesville, and Monroe. Home to around 3,300 residents, the community is surrounded by rolling southern Wisconsin farmland and scenic waterways. Outdoor enthusiasts especially appreciate being the southern trailhead for the 24-mile Sugar River State Trail, a popular route where locals spend weekends biking, walking, and enjoying the peaceful country scenery.
