Official 2019 Visitors Guide

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.

You’ll find peace in our traditional comforts, from the smell of our local bakery, to the sounds of our local hometown radio station as you walk into each vintage downtown shop.

Enjoy a day on the exceptionally groomed Mascoutin Golf Club green. You will find 27 holes ready to challenge golfers of all skill levels, as well as a charming pub and grill.

When the summer sun has ended, hunters welcome the fall, and ice fisherman, along with snowmobile riders, encourage the winter frost. Each holiday season begins with the Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony in Nathan Strong Park, followed by a Holiday Parade.

Enjoy the smiles and laughter amidst the glimmering lights, gingerbread house contest, ho-ho-hos, and several rounds of Carol of the Bells, and start making more of your favorite memories.

Throughout the summer months, the city comes alive with tournaments, sports, festivals, and recreation.

Riverside Park boasts one of the best campgrounds in the country, featuring waterfront campsites, electrical hookups, fire pits, and close proximity to the baseball diamonds, playgrounds, disc golf course, beach volleyball courts, and a conveniently located dump station. It’s also within easy walking distance of the downtown shopping and dining district.

If you find yourself in the area around the months of July and August, embrace the local traditions and annual festivals. Enjoy the long standing American tradition of extravagant fireworks displays, one dollar hot dogs, and letting the kids stay up past their bedtime for the Annual Independence Day Festival.

Only a few weeks later, spend the day at the Bugle Mouth Bass fishing tournament. As the final month of summer kicks off, the Boat Club brings the community together at the Boat Club Corn Roast. Know any car enthusiasts? Also soaking up the last few sweet, warm rays of summer sun is the Street Cruzers Car Show.The community also has an elaborate Farmers Market every Tuesday evening during the months of June through August, it’s very own Aquatic Center complete with multiple water slides, and

organized leagues for several recreational sports, spanning across many age groups, which take place all year round.

Traditions are the foundation to the creation of our memories, and our memories uphold our traditions.

It is not just the smell of the bakery you miss, or that one song that they don’t play on mainstream radio.

What you feel when you recall those favorite moments is real and authentic. It is generated by the desire to reconnect with your traditions, a process many refer to as taking a vacation. Around here we just call it Friday.

For the putting-impaired, the Fox River can provide you with a leisurely day of canoeing, kayaking, boating, or fishing. Bring your own or rent from one of our local establishments! Travel the waterway anywhere upstream by lockage through the Eureka Locks, which are generously funded, maintained, and operated by the local Boat Club. Regardless of where you enter the water, there is absolutely no launch fee. If you’re an outdoorsman (or woman), fill your days fishing, hiking, and bird watching for geese, sandhill cranes, and other local or migrant species alike. For those who enjoy nature, but prefer a little luxury, follow the Mascoutin Trail to Vines and Rushes Winery for a complimentary tasting with one of their knowledgeable hosts or hostesses, and indulge in the finest local wines and beers from the winery and local area brewery as live musicians paint the atmosphere.

r e l a x • r e tr e at • r e p e at

Birdwatching 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 long boardwalk that extends through a marsh to the shore of Norwegian Bay. More information about these and other conservancy sites can be found at the website: greenlakeconservancy.org 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.

Coming into town you’ll see a park that provides a public boat landing along with parking for 10 vehicles and their trailers. The Mill Pond has some of the best fishing around, no matter the season. Bass, Panfish, and Northern are plentiful whether fishing from the shore, out in your boat, or thru the ice.

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.

There are many small Amish businesses in the south east part of Green Lake County, as well as businesses supporting the Amish heritage. The Markesan and Kingston/Dalton Historical Societies can provide visitors with in-depth information on where these settlers came from, their traditions and customs and how they have integrated into their neighboring communities, as well as what trades they are known for (woodworking, baking, cheese making, greenhouses to name a few).

Safe Driving Tips 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.

3 Avoid rapid acceleration or

unnecessary vehicle noises when passing or near a horse and buggy, loud noises may startle the horse as well.
