In the summer take a relaxing canoe trip down the scenic Lower Wisconsin River or try your luck at fishing. Muscoda offers the only riverbank campground (map) of its kind along the 90 miles of the Wisconsin River as it serves both water and highway travelers. The campground is complete with showers, electric hook-up or primitive campsites, and a dump station. Adjacent is a playground and picnic area. Within walking distance there are horseshoe pits, ball field, tennis courts and a public swimming pool. Be sure to visit the Muscoda Area Veteran's Memorial, erected in 2009, located at the west end of the Victora Riverside Park.

A neighbor of Muscoda, northwest along the river, is the Ho-Chunk Bison Ranch. A short ride will take you to the ranch to view the Bison and maybe a tour of the Effigy Mounds.

In 1982, Muscoda acquired the title of "Wisconsin's Morel Capital." The Morel Mushroom Festival is held annually the weekend following Mother's Day with activities for the whole family.
