VILLAGE OF ROCKDALE

 

Welcome to the Village of Rockdale!

Rockdale has much to offer residents and visitors. Nestled at the edge of the CamRock parks, the village enjoys the natural beauty of Koshkonong Creek flowing through its center.  This creek is used by canoers, kayakers, and fisherpeople alike.  In addition, residents and visitors to Rockdale are seconds away from a nature walk or bike ride on a three mile groomed pedestrian path, meandering along Koshkonong Creek all the way to Cambridge.  A new winter multi-use trail area will attract even more cross-country skiers, snowshoers, winter trail bike and nature enthusiasts.  Only minutes from Madison, Janesville, and Milwaukee, Rockdale provides a quaint, rural atmosphere with many of the conveniences of urban living nearby. 

The Village of Rockdale invites you to become involved in decisions designed to make our community a better place to live for all citizens.
