Water Sports
Surrounded by over 40 square miles of lakes and hundreds of miles of rivers and streams of every depth and size, Princeton is nestled on the banks of the mighty Fox River between Lake Puckaway and Green Lake. The area is a water lover’s paradise with abundant opportunities to enjoy the sport of your choice year-round.
Public Parks
Princeton offers a diversity of public parks. Princeton City Park, home of the Famous Princeton Flea Market; Beautiful Megow Park located on Water Street with the Fox River flowing behind it; Hiestand Park on the Fox River banks; Old Mill Park, with picnic tables and fun for kids and the Lions Park with newly renovated tennis courts.
Boating
Canoeing and kayaking becomes a kiss with nature when sliding along the Fox, Mecan, Grand, Rock and White Rivers. Enjoy the richness of nature and its tranquil beauty as wildlife graze along the tree-lined river’s edge. View beautiful scenery as you cruise along cottagedotted shorelines, or drop anchor in the middle of Lake Puckaway or Green Lake to take a break with an onboard picnic lunch and refreshing dip. Unfurl sails and catch the wind for miles of sparkling blue water. Pull your star skier or jump on the wave runner to zip through the sparkling surf…your water fun is what you make it.
Boat Launches & damS
Launch your boat into the Fox River at Hiestand Park in Princeton, just off Hwy. 23/73 on Mechanic Street, at the Princeton Dam on Lock Road about 1 mile west on Hwy 23, or at the White River Dam, 3 miles east of Princeton off of County Road J on Huckleberry Road.
6
Swimming
Enjoy a cool dip and a picnic at three public swimming areas surrounding Green Lake or the public area on Lake Puckaway. Various parks have a variety of playground equipment, picnic tables, shade trees and washrooms for your convenience.
WWW.PRINCETONWI.COM
Fishing
Whether wetting a line off a bridge, from a boat, shoreline, or cutting a hole in the ice, fishing is great. The Fox River, Green Lake and Lake Puckaway are managed for quality fishing. Favorites include small and large mouth bass, bluegill, perch, white bass, northern, walleye, cisco, musky, trout and catfish.
Wildlife
Engage in an abundance of nature and get a close encounter of the “wildlife kind” that is uniquely enjoyed in Princeton and the surrounding area. Water level, temperature, current, and the way the rocks grace the river’s edge make the shores of the Fox River behind the shopping district of downtown Princeton a very unique habitat. For a few days in early spring the ancient species of sturgeon roll on the rocks along the Fox River shoreline spawning only inches from your feet. Be careful not to touch them, they are protected. Another sight to see is the endangered whooping cranes who make their home at White River Marsh just outside of Princeton. Operation Migration, along with the Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership has played a lead role in the reintroduction of endangered Whooping Cranes into eastern North America since 2001. While the ultra-light aircraft method of reintroduction is no longer allowed, Operation Migration still plays an important role in the reintroduction efforts of whooping cranes through a parentreared method of reintroduction at White River Marsh. Visitors to the Princeton area can still see these beautiful birds as they return to the White River Marsh area each year. After 15 years of aircraft-guided migrations, there are now enough adult birds in the population that know the migration route. A prime viewing spot is along County Road D and Mile Road, about 4 miles north of Princeton from early April to late October.

Black Bridge Nature Trail
Winter Outdoor Fun
Miles of manicured snowmobile trails take you for short hops or day-long excursions from county to county. When you plan your route, don’t forget to take a break at your favorite rest stops to warm up and catch a bite to eat. Make it a weekend or a great afternoon break enjoying the silence of the winter woods when cross country skiing. Beautifully maintained trails for all levels of skiers abound in the Princeton area. The lakes turn into small villages when water turns to ice. Whether sitting on a bucket and jigging in a hole cut in the ice or sitting in a warm fishing shack, playing cards and watching tip-ups, winter fishing is great. Test your fishing talent at any of the fisherees held on Puckaway, Green Lake and Little Green.
8
Incorporate the historic Black Bridge Nature Trail (running from North Farmer St. to River Rd.) as you stroll through Princeton city streets. Treat yourself to the seclusion of the old railroad bed rising above lowland habitats and the beautifully preserved Northwestern Railway Bridge as your view opens to the breath-taking scenery of the Fox River that it spans over.
Snake Creek Wetlands Trail
View nature in all its richness as you walk an abandoned railroad in the Izaak Walton League of America’s Snake Creek Wetlands. Access the trail on Saint Marie Rd. or Swamp Rd. between Princeton and Green Lake on Cty. Rd. J. Enjoy the trail year-round.
Pedal Princeton BackRoads
Just park your car in the downtown parking lot and head out to explore the backroads on eight planned tours offering backroad biking experiences for all types of riders. Take along a detailed map available throughout town.
WWW.PRINCETONWI.COM
Green Lake Conference Center
It’s always inspirational to include some of the most beautiful scenery in Wisconsin when you bike, hike or cross country ski through the Green Lake Conference Center’s Dawson Prairie Trail, on the corner of Cty. Rd. T and Hwy. 23 east of Princeton.
Golf
Princeton sits smack dab in the center of six of the finest golf courses in Wisconsin. From nearly treeless rolling hills of the “Scottish-style” links to fairways beautifully bordered with mature and dense oaks and pines, the area is a golfer’s paradise.
