According to the Wisconsin Department of Tourism, Rock County was ranked 12th in the state in tourism spending, with estimated revenues last year at $217 million.

The Janesville Area Convention and Visitors Bureau reports a total of 1,500 campsites around Lake Koshkonong. Milton Town Clerk Sandy Kunkel said municipalities estimate that when summer vacationers are at the lake, the local population doubles.

For the local economy, the impact is obvious.
