This is probably one of my favorite lakes and it is because I grew up on this lake. It is where I learned all of my water sports. When I was little, I remember being thrown in the water and told to swim to the pier, and when I wanted to ski, I sat at the end of the pier with my skis on, yelled to the driver to begin, and the boat would take off. It was so easy to learn how to ski. It also helped having a cement pier.
When the weather was hot, I would hop on my raft and float around the lake. When most people would use the roads to travel to their friends' homes, I would hop on my raft and float over. It was a great way to get a good tan.
One of my favorite memories was with my sister, Maria. It was winter and when we would get a smooth sheet of ice we would put on our ice skates and grab a garbage bag. We would open the garbage bag and used it like a sail. We would travel all over the ice on our skates. The only problem we had is when the wind would shift and we needed to get home. There were many times we had to skate a long way to get home.
Now, a little more about Pewaukee Lake. Pewaukee Lake is located in north central Waukesha County. It is approximately 2,493 acres in size and averages about 10 feet deep and its maximum depth is 45 feet. If you are looking for a good fishing lake, Pewaukee Lake is where you will find bass, stocked muskie, northern, bluegill, crappie, perch and walleye. In addition to fishing, Pewaukee Lake is a great place to ski and sail.
Once on the lake, you will find a few restaurants where you will be able to dock your boat and get a bite to eat.
If you are looking for a beach then you will want to visit the Pewaukee Beach. There you will find a docking pier and a very sandy beach for the children to swim.
Lastly, if you enjoy shopping, you will want to check out the many tiny shops located in the Village of Pewaukee.
This lake has a variety of entertainment for your pleasure. Please be sure to check out this lake the next time you visit Southeastern Wisconsin.

Southeastern Wisconsin has many wonderful places to live, however, if you are looking for one of the most spectacular places to live, you will want to check out “The Preserve at Hunter’s Lake” in Ottawa, Wisconsin.
The Preserve at Hunter’s Lake features rolling hills, woods, prairies, steep slopes, wetlands and a shoreland for your enjoyment. In addition, you will find a one-mile segment of the 1,000 mile-long Ice Age National Scenic Trail which winds its way through the undulating terrain within the community’s common area and then it connects to the private subdivision trails.
The exclusive sub-division includes over 185 acres of permanently preserved open space. During the 1850’s this land was farmed by the Hunter family and is filled rich in history. While farming, they built a lannon stone mansion and established a small stone quarry to serve the area building industry. The quarry later closed and the property was taken over by a prominent Milwaukee brewing family.
The Preserve at Hunter’s Lake is nestled on 285 acres and includes three-fourths of a mile of undeveloped shoreline on Hunter’s Lake, as well as, a small stream-fed lake.
If you are looking for the perfect place to call home, you are in luck. Currently I have a listing in this heavily sought after sub-division. This 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath Colonial located in The Preserve at Hunter’s Lake. As you enter this home, you will be impressed by the beautiful foyer, next we have a formal living room, which has an office/den attached to it. Walk thru the French 
doors and come into the cozy family room, complete with Natural fireplace. Next you will enjoy the large kitchen/dinette with patio doors leading you out to a beautiful back yard. Upstairs you will find the spacious master suite, complete with whirlpool tub, shower and double vanity sinks. Finally, you will have deeded lake access to Hunter’s Lake and will be able to enjoy all the many amenities this fabulous subdivision has to offer.
For more information on this home, please contact Sharon Tomlinson at 262-470-2000 or e-mail at stomlinson@shorewest.com.

These lakes provide many hours of fantastic fishing, boating, swimming, skiing, sailing and beaches. In addition, you won’t need to travel far for a fireworks show on the 4th of July. Many of the lakes have their own fireworks display. What ever your lake desire, we have just the place for you. If you are an outdoorsman, you will find plenty of space in the over 200 acres Waukesha County has for riding horses, hiking, biking or just walking one of the many trails.

Located in Waukesha County you will find the Waukesha Symphony Orchestra, Carroll Players, Waukesha Civic Theatre, Waukesha Choral Union and summer outdoor concerts at the Les Paul Band Shell, which is located in Cutler Park in the City of Waukesha and lastly, Oconomowoc also has concerts at City Beach.

When transfering to Wisconsin one may be apprehensive about finding a home or a community that will make them feel comfortable. Can we find a home that will be what I’m looking for? Will it be nicer/larger than my current home? What will it cost?
One may have interests in golf, boating, fishing, or biking. Finding a community that makes you feel comfortable is just as important as the home one lives in.
If golfing is your activity there are numerous opportunites in both public and private courses. Lining both sides of the I94 corridor is Brookfield Hills, Willow Run, Western Lakes, Nagawaukee, and Pagonica. A mere 3 and a half miles to the south off Hwy 83 is The Legend at Brandybrook, an 18 hole, newer, private golf course community that challenges even the most acomplished professional. The community exists with stately homes, a clubhouse, pool, tennis courts, and exercise facility. Four miles to the north off Hwys 16 and KE is Bristlecone Pines . A community larger than The Legend, also with tennis courts, a pool, and clubhouse. Both of these clubs are private although one does not need to live in the neighborhood to belong to either club.
Boating and fishing can be done at one of the 120 Lakes in the Lake Country area. Lakes such as Pewaukee, Nagawicka, Okauchee, LaBelle, the Nemabins Upper and Lower and the Nashotahs Upper and Lower, are quite plentiful and have public access. Most have public ramps and some have life guards at the beaches.
The glacier-drumlin trail provides scenic trials for the avid rider.
Homes range in price from the low hundred thousand to several million. Their style, age, and size vary as well. The school districts are ranked as some of the best in the country.

As I look out onto the Lake in Lake Geneva, it gives me a serene feeling.
I watch as the ducks dip there heads into the water to find food, some fisherman fishing off of the shore. If you ever just want to sit and think, there is not a better place to do it than to sit on one of the benches along the walkway, and just relax. There is so much to do in this little town, and the visitors here should never get bored. Just look around, the library is just steps away from the lake. Inside the library there are picture windows overlooking the lake, as you sit and read.
Across the street from the library are restaurants for any taste. There are sandwich places, breakfast places, ice cream places. The shops here in Lake Geneva are exquisite, and each one is unique. So why wouldn’t anyone want to visit here, or even transfer here from a bigger city? I sure cannot think of any reason. Get away from the hustle and bustle. Do your heart some good, and just relax.
