A blend of nature and history in Edgerton
Edgerton is a small city in Rock and Dane counties near lakes, rivers and major interstates. “It’s rich in history, personality and outdoor fun,” says Realtor Jerilyn Endrizzi with Coldwell Banker, who has sold in the area for over a decade. “It’s known for being very welcoming and close-knit, where neighbors genuinely look out for one another.” Edgerton has been home to several notable figures, including professional golfer Steve Sticker and Sterling North, author of the classic children’s book, “Rascal.” The surrounding rural landscape has also shaped a legacy of agricultural traditions and outdoor activities, from farming to fishing.
Edgerton sits along the lake, offering outdoor recreation and views to its residents.

Parks provide recreation on land, lake and river
Edgerton has over a dozen parks, ranging from small community spaces with playgrounds to extensive athletic facilities. Racetrack Park is one of the largest, featuring Little League baseball diamonds, soccer fields and a disc golf course. The Edgerton City Pool, open during the summer, has waterslides, and Fish Pond Park offers catch-and-release fishing. Anglers can also hit the Rock River and Lake Koshkonong, which both have a few sandy beaches and public boat launches. Walking trails are available at the Edgerton Hospital Healing Garden, a gathering spot with seating areas, space for outdoor group fitness classes and a pond surrounded by gardens. Pets can run around in the gated dog park on Winston Drive, and golfers can head to the Towne Country Club, which has a course open to the public.

The festival includes various competitions, such as a softball tournament, a lip-syncing contest and tractor pulls. In August, the Rock River Thresheree celebrates local farming culture by spotlighting old agricultural vehicles, like steam traction engines. Each summer, Central Park hosts a free concert series every Wednesday and the Edgerton Pottery & Art Festival in July, with vendors and hands-on wheel-throwing classes.

Interstate and highway access bring convenience to a small town
Major thoroughfares connect the city to larger areas throughout the counties and beyond. “Edgerton is right off the interstate, so traffic runs very smoothly, minus the occasional roundabout mishaps,” Endrizzi says.

Commuters can reach Madison in 30 miles, Milwaukee in 70, and Chicago in 120. Travelers often come through Dane County Regional Airport, about 30 miles away in Madison.
