Geocache Description:

silver lake park




*** Come join the fun at Wisconsin Geocaching Association HERE ***

No Were not looking for fine silver pieces that have been restored, I'm referring to the lake. Silver Lake has recently been revamped. The aquatic life in the lake was overrun by non-native species. So the Wisconsin DNR and other groups got together to fix the lake. It has been done mostly with volunteers. They started by revamping the way Silver Creek flows in and out of the lake. Then they killed everything (fish and algae) in the lake and cleaned it out. In 2004 and 2005 they plan to reintroduce the native species of plants and fish to the lake and restore it to its former glory. This is a beautiful county park that is adjacent to Silver Lake College. The land was donated to the county by the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity for public access. Silver Lake Park has grills, tables, benches, a boat launch, bathrooms, and will have some good fishing. A historical marker, located in Silver Lake Park, reminds visitors that Highway 151 follows the trail of the Winnebago Indian Tribe.
