Clubs/Organizations
Rapid Angels
On March 4, 1979, the Rapid Angels Club discussed possibility of a Motorcycle Recreation Program (MRP) funded park for the land adjacent to their own twenty acres in the Town of Rome.
A committee from the Rapid Angels met with the Town of Rome officials and after several meetings, the proposal was approved and the Town of Rome became the first in Wisconsin to develop a motorcycle area with funding from the MRP. The Dyracuse Recreational Area is operated by the Town of Rome in cooperation with the Rapid Angels Motorcycle Club. The park is named after Dyracuse Mound, a prominent landmark in Adams County, where it is located. There area abound with recreational opportunities with numerous lakes and forest surrounding the park. Camping, lodging, food and gas are readily available.
