Ducks, or DUKW as they were first known, are amphibious vehicles designed by the Allied forces for use in WWII. The first Ducks were used in Patton's invasion of Sicily, and they were heavily relied upon during the D-Day landing. In 1946 a trio of Wisconsin Dells residents bought some Ducks at an army surplus sale and started giving tours of the area's land and water sights.

That same tour company is still operating 70 years later, with a fleet of 90 Ducks and its own exclusive trails through the Lower Dells Scenic Park. The tours take visitors through that park and out on the Wisconsin River and Lake Delton, with informative guides narrating and entertaining. Beautiful views, wildlife sightings, and much fun are to be had on an Original Wisconsin Duck tour.
