Stampers Greenhouses and Farm Market

Sauk City, Wisconsin's oldest incorporated village, along with its sister village of Prairie du Sac are located in the heart of some of the most breathtaking countryside in the upper Midwest. Rolling hills, pastoral meadows, dramatic bluffs, the beautiful Wisconsin River, and eagle viewing in winter, make this a favorite destination for vacationers year round.

Each winter in Sauk City and Prairie du Sac Wisconsin, bald eagles gather because the strong current below the Prairie du Sac dam keeps the river from freezing, allowing eagles access to their favorite food-fish. Also, the area’s bluffs and valleys provide needed shelter from severe weather and roosting for the night. Welcome to this very special celebration of wintering Bald Eagles!

Eagle watching is best during the morning, when the birds are most active fishing and most frequently seen perching in trees along the river. Spotting scopes are available for your use at the Ferry Bluff Eagle Council’s Overlook in Prairie du Sac. We recommend that you bring binoculars and very warm clothes for the best viewing experience.
