Elkhorn one of the fastest-growing cities in Walworth County. More importantly, though, it is a picturesque little town with sprawling park-like natural forests. As you can imagine, it looks particularly charming in winter when snow covers everything. For a while it even inspired old-fashioned Christmas cards, the kind with warmly-lit homes under a blanket of snow, twinkling with lights.
Elkhorn is a very close community with a small-town feel. Yet it has all sorts of modern-day conveniences and amenities to keep young and old occupied. For the kids, there is Sunset Park which has tennis courts, baseball fields, swimming pools and a playground. Meanwhile, Babe Mann Park, the largest park in the area, is popular for canoeing, as well as fishing for avid anglers.
The winters in Elkhorn are no different than they are in most mid-western towns but the snow does not keep people confined to their houses. Instead, almost everyone discovers a love for winter sports soon after they move here. The White River State Trail offers excellent snowmobiling, skiing, ice skating and more.
The schools in Elkhorn are serviced by Elkhorn Area School District, while tertiary education is offered by Gateway Technical College and Upper Iowa University-Elkhorn. The latter offers both graduate and post graduate qualifications.
New housing developments are springing up all the time in Elkhorn and its surroundings. If you need help finding the right builder or you want to purchase an existing home, NewHomeSource can help you determine exactly what's right for you.
