In 2006, the Department of Tourism initiated Travel Green Wisconsin to promote
smart, environmentally friendly business practices. The program is the first state-sponsored
sustainable travel green certification program in the nation and has become a model for
sustainable travel efforts both nationally and internationally.
The Black River Area Chamber of Commerce has been certified as a Travel Green
Wisconsin business since 2012. Commitment to recycling, donating “gently used” office
equipment and winterizing the building are just a few of the ways the Black River Area
Chamber of Commerce is committed to sustainability and earned Travel Green Wisconsin
certification. The Black River Area Chamber of Commerce joins over 400 Travel Green
Wisconsin certified events, attractions, and destinations. This certification has enhanced the organization and the
Chamber of Commerce will help members obtain the information they need to also become Travel Green Certified.

Ho-Chunk People - People of the Big Voice
Jackson County is
the headquarters of
the Ho-Chunk Nation
sovereign government
and also serves as
home to the highest
concentration of the
Ho-Chunk people. Of
the 7,200 members
of the Nation, about
5,100 live within the
state of Wisconsin
and just over 1,200
reside in Jackson County. Since the establishment of new
settlements in the region, the Ho-Chunk people have shared
their rich culture with residents opening doors to dialogue,
trade, and the great artistry of their traditional crafts.
Today the evolution of these early relationships are still
evident as the Nation, their members, and other residents
of the county engage in commerce, partnerships, and shared
governance to highlight the uniqueness of this beautiful and
historic place in Wisconsin.

The Ho-Chunk Nation holds several events throughout the
year, none more promoted than the Memorial and Labor Day
weekend gatherings held at the Andrew Blackhawk Memorial
Pow-Wow Grounds, located on State Highway 54 east of Black
River Falls. The pow-wows held during these celebrations feature
respected warriors from all nationalities raising over 100 flags in
honor of the veterans who have proudly served and walked on.
Ho-Chunk Heritage
The Ho-Chunk Nation continues to make great strides
in strengthening their cultural identity as well as growing in
the economic and personal relationships made over the years.
Following a prior Presidential proclamation in support of language
revitalization, the Ho-Chunk Nation bridged further relationships
with colleges and school districts to share this unique treasure.
In 2011, the new administration and several
district legislators have provided a progressive breath in the tribal
government. For more information about the Ho-Chunk Nation,
please visit the “Ho-Chunk Nation” on Facebook, or www.hochunknation.com. And don’t forget Ho-Chunk Gaming Black
River Falls where food and entertainment are always available.

the old Jackson County iron mine sites and provides
breathtaking vistas of eastern Jackson County.
Besides the
designated trails, the
Black River State
Forest and Jackson
County Forest have
several hundred miles
of forest and old
logging roads which are
open to mountain bike
travel and will give you
a one-of-a-kind offroad experience.

Year-Round Recreation

flowages that provide excellent fishing opportunities.

Hunting
With approximately 200,000 acres
of public lands and a bountiful supply
of deer, it is not surprising that Jackson
County is known as the “Deer Capital of

Black River Falls
Situated on the banks of the Black River, Black River Falls, the largest city in Jackson

casino or visit a cranberry industry operation.
City Point
Located in northeast corner of Jackson County, the township of City Point was

The village of Hatfield, nestled in the pines in west-central Wisconsin on the border of
Jackson and Clark Counties, was once the favorite hunting ground of the Ho-Chunk
Nation. Now it is a friendly resort town and home to Lake Arbutus, an 840 acre

for swimming, boating, fishing, water skiing, canoeing and kayaking as well as for
ATVing and snowmobiling. Hatfield also hosts several flea markets each year.
Hixton
Hixton, located on I-94 at the junction of Highway 95, was an important village
in early Jackson County. With the Trempealeau River, and Lowe, Tank, and Stony
Creeks’ irrigation, rich farmland could be found almost anywhere across the township.
The community hosts several annual celebrations and events. If antiques are your
thing, Hixton has several fine antique stores in and near the downtown area.

Using a pentagon theme, the Field of Honor is built around
a 32-foot flag pole which is illuminated from dusk to dawn. The
Field of Honor is further enhanced through the use of a series
of descriptive monoliths (monuments) which honor veterans
of World War I, World War II, the Korean Conflict, and the
Vietnam War. Flowers, shrubs, and a vast lawn area surround the
Field of Honor in greenery and represent the peace and freedom
our veterans have fought to preserve. The two 25-foot flag poles
(Prisoner of War/Missing in Action and the State of Wisconsin)
at the entrance to the memorial also complement the setting. It
is located next to the Black River Area Chamber of Commerce,

Karner Blue Butterfly
Wild Lupine
Karner Blue Butterfly
Jackson County is home to the Karner Blue
Butterfly, a species that was listed as endangered
in 1992. Pine barrens, oak savannas and open
prairies provide their habitat. Karner Blues
depend on the wild lupine plant, a beautiful
purple wildflower. The pale green caterpillar
feeds exclusively on the leaves of the wild lupine.
Just a Quick Drive...Rustic Road
The North Settlement Road (R-54) which runs from County Highway O north to Highway 54 is one of Wisconsin’s
Rustic Roads.
Wisconsin has designated over 60 roads during the past several years to preserve what remains of Wisconsin’s scenic,
lightly traveled country roads for the leisurely enjoyment of bikers, hikers, and motorists.
These roads are all marked with brown and yellow signs and each is assigned a number with an “R” prefix to avoid
confusion with the State Trunk highway numbering.
