A lakefront resort, minutes from Milwaukee

Lake Beach Outdoors Parks Historic Family-Friendly

If you head south from Milwaukee for roughly 17 miles, you'll discover the lakeside village of Caledonia. With beautiful views of Lake Michigan from Lakeshore Drive, Caledonia provides that resort-style, laidback lifestyle just minutes from the city. The village contains Cliffside Park Campgrounds, a lakefront park with camping, picnic areas, a playground, basketball courts, and ball fields. The Root River Parkway extends along the north side of the village along the Root River, providing hiking and mountain biking trails, picnic shelters, playgrounds, a disc golf course, an archery range, and sand volleyball courts.

Caledonia's fantastic location is ideal for commutes into Milwaukee or Racine for work or play. Nearby Racine, located on the south end of the village, is home to the Racine Zoo, Racine North Beach, and the Windpoint Lighthouse. Caledonia is a close-knit village with a variety of community activities, such as the annual picnic hosted by the Caledonia Conservancy. The Caledonia Historical Society hosts an annual Heritage Festival complete with great food, crafts, activities, demonstrations, and more. The Historical Society also maintains the Caledonia Historical Village, which is open seasonally and offers a glimpse into what life looked like when it was first settled in 1832.
