Minutes from Lake Michigan and just outside the Little Switzerland Ski Area, the village of Jackson offers outdoor fun year-round. The Jackson Marsh Wildlife Area provides a terrific bird-watching, cross-country skiing, fishing, and hiking destination, covering 590 acres. The town is located about 30 miles northwest of Downtown Milwaukee, with I-41 providing a quick commute into the city. For residents who want to work closer to home, Jackson's Industrial Drive is lined with businesses like Accord Manufacturing, Dyne Systems, Supply One, Germantown Iron & Steel, and the USCCA & Delta Defense Fulfillment Center.
The heart of the village, Jackson Park, is the location of many community events, such as the Oktoberfest Beer Garden and the Annual Community Easter Egg Hunt. Other community events include the Raspberry Festival, the Annual Ghoul Gala, and a Kids Fish Derby.
