Visit Fountain City… An Undiscovered Treasure!
Nestled in the bluffs along the Mississippi River, Fountain City is the oldest settlement in Buffalo County, Wisconsin. Rich in natural and historical beauty, visitors that travel to this small river-town community find Fountain City’s people to be proud of its miles of memories and unique attractions. The panoramic view of Fountain City is highlighted by Eagle Bluff, a natural attraction which stands 550 feet above the river, the highest point on the Mississippi. Whether on scenic Highway 35, internationally recognized as “The Great River Road,” or vacationing along the Mississippi River, visitors will experience a diversity of multi-seasonal recreational activities and enjoyable attractions in one location, the “River Bluff Capital of the World!”
