De Forest, Wisconsin, is a fast-growing city just north of Madison, and it could be your next home. As the name "De Forest" suggests, one of the area's defining traits are its beautiful forests and rivers. The Yahara River in particular is the lifeblood of the De Forest area. Anyone who loves nature will appreciate this valuable community asset. The forestry department recently determined that no fewer than 19 species of fish make their home in this fertile stretch of the river, making the Yahara a fisherman's (or woman's) paradise. You'll find (and hopefully, catch), lots of crappie, bluegill, brown trout, and largemouth bass here. If you're not much for fishing but still want to enjoy the river, there is a new "water trail" for those who own a canoe or kayak. If you're a hiker, you can't go wrong with the Upper Yahara River Trail, a three-mile-long look at the scenery.
In the winter, don't let the snow keep you inside. Wisconsin has made a career out of inventing, practicing, and promoting winter sports. In De Forest, four ice rinks keep residents entertained when it's cold outside: Fireman's Park, which specializes in hockey, the Conservancy Commons Park, Veteran's Park, and a park centered around a pond on Windsor Road. The pond is also the perfect spot for ice-fishing.
By now, De Forest probably sounds like a rural small town. This is far from the truth. While residents enjoy the "country" aspects of living here, they also know that they're only 15 minutes away from the Dane County airport. Highways like US Highway 51, interstate 39, I-90, and I-94 are easily accessible from every corner of town. If you want a quiet, peaceful home to return to each night, but a short commute to a job in Madison or Sun Prairie every morning, De Forest is the best place to live.
You may find yourself in Madison on the weekends, too. Madison itself is a fun college town, home of the University of Wisconsin, which is widely acknowledged as one of the top public universities in the country. As a result, downtown Madison is alive with museums, art galleries, great little eateries, concerts, and lectures.
