We are nestled within the rolling hills of southwestern Juneau County in Wisconsin.  The natural beauty, rural atmosphere and small town lifestyle draw visitors, new homeowners and small businesses into our area. 

Elroy is the focal point of hiking, biking and snowmobile trail use in the region, as a number of major recreation trails meet in the city. The ‘400’ State Trail, Elroy-Sparta State Trail and the Juneau County Omaha Trail all begin or end in this quaint community. All trails are built on abandoned rail beds with the Elroy-Sparta Trail being the first ‘Rails to Trails’ project in the United States.
 

The Elroy Historical Museum in downtown Elroy depicts the early railroad days of Elroy along with other exhibits. The Elroy Commons, a downtown park built in 1991 where the original train station stood, is the trail shop and information center, while the original train depot is now home to the Elroy Area Volunteer Fire Department. Elroy also features an Andrew Carnegie Library, which was dedicated March 4, 1908 and remodeled in 2000. On the outskirts of town is Schultz City Park which hosts the annual Elroy Fair and team sporting events and also features the municipal swimming pool.

As a result of the multi-use trails a number of campgrounds, bed and breakfasts and restaurants are located near Elroy. Numerous services and businesses are located in Elroy including a grocery store, theater, jewelry store, gift shop, hardware store, pharmacy, train shop, office supply store, hair salons and tanning, medical and dental clinics, chiropractic service, auto supply and appliance store, auto service and an art gallery.
