Elkhart Lake—A Legendary Getaway 15 Marsh Park Observation Tower The Marsh Park and Wildlife area are a recreational haven for outdoor enthusiasts. The 13,000 acre park attracts hunters, fishermen, and wildlife/nature observers. Year-round, we have visitors and enthusiasts spanning world-wide admiring the vast impressive nature our area has to offer. Climb the tower for a spectacular view! Wade House Autumn Celebration Weekend Learn about the origins of American Halloween customs, play seasonal games of the period, enjoy hot cider in the stagecoach inn, take a two mile open-air, horse-drawn wagon ride, carve pumpkins and turnips, and listen to classic renditions of scary (but family-friendly) stories in the candlelit Herrling Sawmill. Pumpkin Patch Fall Family Weekend Bring the family to Henschel's Indian Museum and Trout Farm for a festival of fun including Indian museum tours, scenic hayrides to effigy mounds, gift shop, and puzzling corn maze. Enjoy apple cider and caramel apples. Get your pumpkins, squash and gourds. Elkhart Lake Water and Woods You can play on the water or in the woods surrounding Elkhart Lake. Fishing and kayaking are great! The nearby Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive offers a fall driving tour through the area's hilly countryside. Join us this fall. Autumn is a time when the air is crisp, colors are brilliant and the lake is still warm. Enjoy the Bounty – Elkhart Lake Style! Autumn Adventures Specially packaged overnight stays are available at our lakeside resorts. Autumn offers vivid color, quiet kayaking, spectacular sunsets and a peaceful getaway. Select from several Autumn Outings and make these popular day trips part of your adventure. The area offers a wide variety of fall recreational activities and day trip opportunities. A decrease in lake activity after Labor Day offers a haven for silent sport enthusiasts with superb paddling and fishing. Personal guide services are available to the public. An 80′ observation tower at the Sheboygan County Marsh Park offers a spectacular view of the colorful forest. Watch the wildlife in its natural habitat. The Ice Age Trails and Kettle Moraine State Park provide some of the best hiking trails in Wisconsin. Bicycle rental options are available for the entire family. You'll be in for a real treat when you visit Henschel's Indian Museum & Trout Farm. The view alone is worth the trip! Another popular adventure is a trip to Henning's Cheese Company where you can watch cheese being made through viewing windows that overlook the factory. Enjoy sampling cheese, wine and ice cream. Wade House in nearby Greenbush packs the fall season with special events such as its Autumn Celebration. For total relaxation, spend the day pampering yourself at our full-service spa, Aspira. Play in comfortable, indoor pools or walk to the golf course to tee off with friends. Resorts and bed and breakfast inns are just a few blocks from the lake and within walking distance of diverse dining and eclectic shopping options.
