welcome Welcome to Green Lake Country!

Nothing makes a vacation more unforgettable than great weather, a great destination, and a place where you can bring your family and friends to create everlasting memories. Berlin, Markesan, Princeton and Ripon: four cities making up one great destination.

The abundance of outdoor activities will thrill the silent sport fans, while those looking for a little more R&R can enjoy a luxury spa experience, yoga in the vineyard, antique “treasure hunting”, heritage tourism via 12 historical societies and museums, and the best of small town boutique shopping.

Music festivals, live stage performances, cozy coffee shops and old-fashioned ice cream parlors will remind you of how nice it is to enjoy the simple things in life. Visit Green Lake Country for a weekend, for a week or even a month.

Then, Relax. Retreat. Repeat.

Berlin Nestled along the Fox River, only 20 minutes west of Oshkosh, a drive to Berlin will truly offer ample opportunities to relax and refresh in a community that cares. Whether your interests are golf, camping along the Fox, a family day at the Aquatic Center, or maybe just a walk along the Riverside Park River Trail, you will find Berlin is a great place to visit, live, work and play.

Golf at the beautiful Mascoutin Golf Course located just 8 minutes from Green Lake, 27 well groomed holes await to challenge golfers of all abilities.

Berlin’s accessibility to the Fox River provides opportunities for a leisurely day of canoeing, kayaking, boating or fishing. One of the few rivers in the world that runs north, the Fox is truly a sport enthusiast’s paradise. From Berlin, boat anywhere upstream by lockage through the renovated Eureka Locks, locally funded and operated by the Berlin Boat Club. Whether launching your boat at Berlin’s Riverside Park or the Berlin Locks there is no launch fee!

Berlin’s Riverside Park, boasts one of the best campgrounds in the county featuring waterfront sites, electricity, fire pits, baseball fields, playgrounds, disc golf, volleyball courts (and dump station). Enjoy the serenity of the Fox or fish from your campsite. A short walk to Berlin’s historic downtown will delight the inquisitive shopper or diner, as well as the lover of Wisconsin history.

Wildlife abounds as you bike, walk or run the MascoutinTrail. Twelve miles of paths meander through three counties. With the trail head starting at Berlin, a quiet ride gives you the opportunity to view deer, geese, Sandhill cranes and other critters as you bike to Ripon and Green Lake. Birdwatchers delight in tracking local and migrant species alike.

Summer events for the whole family include the Independence Day Berlin Style, Bugle Mouth Bass Fishing Tournament, the Berlin Boat Club Corn Roast and Street Cruzers Car Show. Berlin also has an elaborate Farmers Market every Tuesday evening during the months of June through August.

The holiday season begins with the Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony in Nathan Strong Park, followed by a dazzling Holiday Parade. Outdoor winter enthusiasts can enjoy some of the best snowmobiling trails in the county, riding all the way up the Fox River.

Lastly, when cabin fever comes your way it’s time to get out, shake off the winter blues and partake in the Beer & WineTasting Extravaganza. Quench your palate on wines from around the world or satisfy your taste buds on fine cuisine from local and area restaurants.

Birdwatching White River Marsh Wildlife Area

in Green Lake Country

Green Lake Country is blessed by its wealth of habitats for birds and wildlife, and many good birding locations have trails and are open to public access. Depending on the time of year, some places will vary considerably in what birdlife might be present, while other sites might provide great opportunities to find birds during any season. In general, the best time of year for birdwatching is spring and summer – especially April through July – when migrants are passing through, or individuals are engaged in territorial displays and breeding activities.

Over 260 bird species have been found in the area, including a nice variety of waterfowl, hawks and owls, woodpeckers, thrushes, sparrows, warblers and finches.

Some of the favorites include Common Loon, American White Pelican, Wild Turkey, American Woodcock, Pileated Woodpecker, Scarlet Tanager, and Indigo Bunting.

In winter, one can sometimes encounter Rough-legged Hawk, Snowy Owl, Northern Shrike, Snow Bunting, and both crossbills. Some of the unusual or rare birds that have been found here have been Iceland Gull, Yellow Rail, Snowy Plover, Summer Tanager, Carolina Wren, Bohemian Waxwing and Harris’s Sparrow.

Starting relatively close to the lake, there are a number of Green Lake Conservancy sites that can provide a good birdwatching experience. One of the best is Sunnyside Conservancy, which is located along Silver Creek Inlet (off of Lakeview Dr.), and contains several lagoons and about two miles of trails. Other conservancy hiking areas include Hammer’s Trail and Winnebago Trail, both of which are located within the Green Lake Conference Center and overlook the lake. Norwegian Bay Conservancy is another excellent place to go, and has

A little further from the lake are two very large stateowned properties that can provide wonderful birding opportunities. One is the White River Wildlife Area (located north of Princeton and west of Berlin), and the other is Grand River Wildlife Area (just west of Kingston).

Another good option is the Snake Creek Wetlands Trail, which follows an abandoned railroad right-of-way between Swamp and St. Marie Roads. All of these sites are marked on the maps.

Markesan Since 1858, the town of Markesan, once known as Granville, has boasted an impressive history, including claims to having been the third richest city in the nation. Markesan’s intriguing past of missing gold, murder, and love of the land can be experienced by visiting the Grand River Valley Museum and Train Depot. The Grand River winds through town, dressing up the city with nature and wildlife.Take a leisurely walk through our downtown city streets and discover wonderfully nostalgic Victorian homes as well as unique stores. Venture to the countryside to find horse-drawn buggies and distinct craftsmanship, prepared by the large Amish population of the area. Explore their unique lifestyle by visiting their old-fashioned stores filled with hand made goods (see pg 34 & 35 for more details).

An active approach to experiencing Markesan might involve fishing in Little Green Lake or Lake Puckaway for walleye, bass, perch, bluegill or muskie. Hunters and snowmobilers will find plentiful game and excellent trails. Come for the day and attend one of our many fun family events: The Fire Department breakfast or brat fry, the Antique Car and Vintage Snowmobile Show, June Dairy Days, Heritage Days at the Grand River Valley Museum, Christmas Homespun Holidays Celebration and Winterfest (calendar on pg 11).

Markesan’s motto of “a grand community” is a fitting description for this wonderful place on the Grand River. The fertile agricultural land remains a driving force behind the abundant family farms as well as the canning industry. An exceptional state-of-the-art school offers a modern and healthy environment for learning, demonstrating the commitment to our youth and their future. The Markesan library is filled with events for children and adults, becoming also a wonderful resource for those looking to continue their education. All of this, coupled with the presence of businesses, medical facilities, financial institutions and core public services create a priceless quality of life which we are proud to have and extend to our visitors. Come to Markesan to enjoy life.

Princeton Nestled on the banks of the Fox River, Princeton is a hidden treasure full of abundant natural resources, shops, restaurants, the State’s largest outdoor Flea Market and so much more. The area is truly a haven for those looking to relax and unwind in a pleasant, peaceful, small-town environment.

Princeton is rich with natural resources, streams and lovely landscapes. The outdoor enthusiast can enjoy an abundance of activities including hunting, fishing, canoeing, bird-watching, cycling, and camping. Along the downtown shoreline, witness Sturgeon rolling on the rocks as they spawn in early spring. Designated “Bird City”, view the endangered Whooping Cranes by chance, in White River Marsh. Princeton’s secluded bike routes draw cyclists from across the US looking to explore the beautiful scenery, discovering the beauty of spring wildflowers, summer prairies and fall foliage.

Shopping the Shops of Water Street in Princeton (listed on the National Register of Historic Places) offers some of the most distinctive experiences.

With many crafters and artisans in residence, Princeton merchants pride themselves in offering unusual, one-of-a-kind goods, many of them handcrafted, eco-friendly, vintage and fair trade.

Ripon The friendly and inviting city of Ripon is an active community set among historic buildings and wellpreserved architecture from the late 19th century.

City streets are dotted with eye-catching Victorian houses known as Painted Ladies. The bustling historic downtown features a variety of businesses in buildings whose architecture dates back to the 1860s. Take the walking tour of our city center to fully enjoy our beautiful architectural history.

The Friday Night Concert Series at the Village Green is a summertime favorite. Cookie Daze, is a wonderful family festival featuring crafts, games, kid-made rockets and, of course, cookies! During Septemberfest we celebrate the beauty of our fall season with live music, the Watson Street car and motorcycle show, a charity sponsored dog walk, local food vendors, and other fun filled activities for the whole family to enjoy. The beloved Dickens of a Christmas event kicks off the holidays the first weekend in December. The weekend features a quilt show, craft fairs, breakfast with Santa, tour of homes, enchanted forest, musical entertainment, and living windows. The living windows event which occurs on Saturday night features downtown storefronts as they come alive with scenes of Christmas. Stroll along enjoying hot cider or hot chocolate, take a horse and carriage ride, and snack on roasted Chestnuts on this weekend that is guaranteed to create holiday memories for years to come.

Historic Landmark. This quaint and charming building witnessed the creation of a national movement that began on March 20, 1854. The Little White Schoolhouse is open for visitors to admire antique artifacts, to learn more about Ripon, and to understand what school life was like for children in the 1850s.

Ripon College, a nationally recognized private liberal arts and sciences school, founded in 1851, flows into the community with buildings dating back to the 19th century. The college provides cultural and sporting events open for everyone to enjoy. Renowned guest speakers visit the campus, and we are graced with performances by the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and brilliant productions by the Ripon College Theatre Department.

While visiting Ripon, make sure you explore our parks and trails (for walking, running, biking or cross country skiing). Visitors may also want to catch a movie at the historic Campus Cinema, founded by Ben Marcus in 1935. Ripon’s Vines and Rushes Winery is a must-stop for wine enthusiasts.

These are just a few of the wonderful opportunities and fun times awaiting you in Ripon. Come. Find out why Ripon is the ideal place to live, work, play, and prosper.

Berlin is home to the Mascoutin Golf Course. Some 300 years ago, fire-worshipping Indians lived in the Mascoutin Village just south of Berlin. It was in this gently rolling setting that E.

All 27 holes appeal to men, women and junior golfers. (27 holes) ■ for more information call 920.361.2360 or visit www.mascoutingolf.com

History Buffs Heritage Tourism means visiting our small, quasi~rural towns, meeting a local volunteer and engaging in a wonderful conversation with someone who is passionate about our past and is eager to share our stories with you.

By seeing photos of an old quarry, or holding the tools workers used, we put ourselves in their everyday lives, we imagine what their dreams must have been like. By learning how a butter churner works, to seeing doctors utensils of the early 1900’s, to admiring elegant Victorian gowns and porcelain plates, or laughing at images through a stereoscope, you have the opportunity to leave the land of today and enter the world of yesterday.

The Amish community includes Marquette, Columbia, and Green Lake Counties. When traveling in the area many motorists are not aware of how to drive when they come upon a horse and buggy. In an effort to increase the safety of all those who use the roadways in this area, here are some safe driving tips.

1 Dim your headlamps when you meet a horse and buggy at night. As you might expect the horses have difficulty when they have to stare into bright headlights.

2 Give a wide berth when passing a horse and buggy.

Driving closely to the horse may startle it, and cause the buggy operator to lose control.
