Nelson
is located at the junction of Highways 25 and 35
and connects Wisconsin to Minnesota by the interstate
bridge over the Mississippi River.
Nelson offers fine restaurants, gift shops, a cheese
factory and liquor stores. Castleberg Park has a
shelter perfect for picnic lunches.
Next to the village is an area that is three miles
wide and 10 miles long - of virgin forest and water,
practically untouched by civilization. This area,
known as the Tiffany Bottoms, is a sportsman's paradise.
This huge section of backwater adjoining the Mississippi
has thousands of acres of woods where deer abound.
Walking trails and canoeing are available.
