Spring Thaw at the Lake


Pewaukee Lake is a major focal point of this small-town community. In the winter, there's ice fishing and snow-mobiling; in the summer, it's a haven for swimming, sailing, boating, water-skiing, and fishing. There's a community beach party in June, Independence Day fireworks in July, and "Taste of Lake Country" in August.

These views look east down Wisconsin Avenue, which borders the north side of the lake. The Lakefront Park beach is on the right and cute shops & restaurants line the left side. [Watch for shop postings in the coming days.]

Looks like a wonderful place to spend an afternoon. Beautiful photo's.

Thanks for this. I'd never heard of Pewaukee Lake.

Heck, until I ran into your blog, I'd never heard of Pewaukee, Wisconsin.

But then most people have never heard of Ocala, Fl, either.

Where, exactly, is Pewaukee?

Thanks, Jacob. In the right-hand column of this blog is some general info about Pewaukee & a link to a recent Business Week article. We're basically suburban Milwaukee with a little more open space! ~MJ
