Ottawa Lake Recreation Area, S59W37800 County Road ZZ, Dousman, WI

Join your Nordic friends for a day of fun at our summer picnic at Ottawa Lake Recreation Area. Enjoy biking, hiking, swimming, kayaking or canoeing, or just visiting with friends. Shelter A is reserved from 8 am until dark and the potluck will be at 1 pm.

A 30 mile bike ride will start at 10am from the shelter; this is a ride that can easily be tailored to do less miles if desired. There is a self-guided nature canoe trail around Ottawa Lake for any interested. The beach is near the shelter for swimming. Hiking at the lake is limited, but there are many options nearby in the South Kettle Moraine.

Our famous potluck picnic will begin at 1 pm. Charcoal, napkins, paper plates, utensils, water, and basic condiments will be provided. Bring your own beverage, meat to grill, and a dish to pass. In addition to your swimsuit, bike and helmet, canoe or kayak, you might want to bring sunscreen, a lawn chair, and outdoor games to share. A State Park admission sticker is needed for your vehicle ($25 annual ; $7 daily). Call Nancy Zoltowski at (414)254-0523 if you have any questions.

Directions: Ottawa Lake Rec. Area is 4 miles north of Eagle. Travel Hwy 67 north from the village of Eagle, or south from I94. Then turn west on Hwy ZZ to the campground entrance. Location is: S59W37800 County Road ZZ, Dousman, WI.
