Arena is a small village located in Iowa County, in the southwestern part of Wisconsin. It’s a gateway to the Driftless Area, a region known for its unique topography that's untouched by glaciers.

Arena is just 30 minutes from Madison but it feels a world away. It’s surrounded by rich farmland and it’s close to the Wisconsin River.

While finding provisions can be a challenge in small towns, the shop has you covered. It’s right on the highway and it offers a big selection of groceries, fresh meat, pet supplies, bait and tackle, cold beer, wine, and liquor.

If you’re camping in the area or are ravenous after a day on the river, this little store is a Godsend. It offers fresh and hot carry-out food that’s just what you need.

Order a hot chicken or fish dinner, a fresh-baked pizza, a hot or cold pizza, or a tasty appetizer like cheese curds, fries, mini tacos, or onion rings. They even have salad!

If you have any room for dessert – enjoy a soft serve cone. Or maybe pick up some beer for the cabin. There’s nothing crappy about the crappie shop!

I first spotted this place on a kayaking trip. It’s now one of my must-stop places in the area. Learn more about the Crappie Shop in Arena on the store’s website. Get all your outdoor supplies at REI. Still hungry? Here’s where to find Wisconsin’s iconic foods.
