North Lake
 | What is the status of the public boat launch on North Lake?... |
Alpine Valley
 | 11 miles away Alpine Valley is a very good ski resort for being in Wisconsin, it's a bit more on the easy side of the spectrum so if you're an advanced skier you might get bored. But I love it, it's a great place for a relaxing day of skiing. I come here a lot with my family and we all like it.... |
Blue Spring Lake
| 12 miles away I would like to see how large the lake is, the maximum depth, public boat launches, and what type of fish you can find in this lake.... |

Lauderdale Lakes
| 14 miles away 1 PHOTO Green Lake is not near Lauderdale Lakes, it is the northernmost lake of the three lakes making up Lauderdale Lakes. It is the deepest of the three major basins. The best thing about the lakes is the fishing. Habitat protection is important. Two public launches are available, but the lakes lack any boat rentals. Bait must be purchased and brought along. Panfish and largemouth bass provide the most action. Pike are present and smallmouth bass have been recently stocked. On occasion, a walleye is caught.

Heiden Pond
| 19 miles away ...tween the end zone and the fifty yard line of the high school football field. It's maybe 5 feet deep. Yes, you can ice skate there or play hockey in winter, but leave your boat home! It was a popular place for ice skating in my grandmother's day (1920's - 1940's). If you are planning on camping nearby, be advised that Horicon and Beaver Dam are both 1/2 an hour away or more. River Bend resort is about 7 miles West of Watertown, but I think you need to be a member to camp there. To sum this all up: Watertown is named such because it was founded on the horseshoe bend of the Rock RIVER- not LAKE. If you want lakes, go east a bit to the Oconomowoc area. This is called Lake Country for a reason. You will find Lac Labelle and Fowler Lake nearly join at Highway 67 which runs north and south. It is very pretty at sunset. If that doesn't interest you, go southwest of Watertown about 15 minutes to Lake Mills. You'll find fishing and watersports much more accessible here than at Silver Creek! If you come to Watertown, take a walk across the bridge on North Second street around sunset. Stop half... |
Grand Geneva
| 21 miles away I think Grand Geneva is where I went skiing last year when I was up there visiting some old friends, but it may have been some other similar place. It was my first time skiing, it was great. I fell a lot but you know, you just get up again, that's just the way it goes. Looking forward to going again some time.... |
