Lodi prides itself on its three city parks, nine-hole golf course, public swimming pool, absence of parking meters on its streets, and most of all, on Susie the Duck, the mallard (or her successor) who has made her home since 1948 in the masonry nest built especially for her and her flock at the Main Street bridge. Susie and her flock provide delightful entertainment for the visitor. Just outside of Lodi take in the view at Gibraltar Rock a sandstone bluff near the Wisconsin River that rises 400 feet above Lake Wisconsin to the North.
