Artesian Spring Fed Lake – Fishing & Picnic Area – Canoe & Kayaking When you enter Monticello from Wisconsin Highway 69, Lake Montesian welcomes visitors and residents to the village with its unique location on the west side of the town. A double row of over 100 flowering crab apple trees form Memory Lane, creating a pathway into the village. The lake hosts an island that is accessible by a curved footbridge. This idyllic setting is a place to relax, picnic or fish. But it has also been the scene of weddings and other events. An octagonal shelter house provides additional facilities. Lake Montesian,created by community volunteers, covers approximately seven acres and boasts a variety of sport fish. A special pier is available for those who need to fish from the shore. Lake Montesian and Monticello Community Park are the perfect combination for an afternoon in the sun., Lake Montesian is a seven acre, man-made lake, that is located adjacent to Monticello’s historic downtown and occupies the area where the Old Monticello Mill Pond once bustled with activity. The park offers a relaxing setting for family outings that includes a shelter house with all the facilities for a sizzling good time and a footbridge that leads to an island with benches and plenty of shade in the middle of the lake. Every January, the Green County Conservation League and the Monticello Lions Club hold the annual Fisharee/Chickaree for people of all ages. Homecoming, the second weekend in July, also features use of the lake with canoe races and, later, fireworks set off from the island. The lake is spring fed and an artisan well is accessible behind the village monument on Highway 69. Local Historical Information Who was Nickolaus Gerber?

She saw our area history being sold at auctions and garage sales and felt that something had to be done to preserve our heritage. In 2001 a very generous benefactor, Mrs. Ruth Knight Sybers, purchased the old Woelffer Drug Store building and donated it to the society for use as a museum. From this time on we have begun collecting and cataloging artifacts, photographs and family documents pertinent to the Monticello area as well as pharmacy items found in our building. We consider our area of responsibility to include the region covered by our local school district. This covers parts of the townships of New Glarus, Exeter, Monroe, Sylvester and the whole of Washington, and Mt. Pleasant. The Monticello Area Historical Society is a 501(c)(3) charitable society. Your donations and gifts are tax-deductible. Membership Application MAHS general membership meetings are held in the north room of the Zwingli church annex, 416 E.

State Recreation Trail http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/parks/name/sugarriver/ As an adventurer on the Sugar River Trail you will pass through remnants of prairie habitat and venture into the welcome shade of many wooded areas. You will encounter riparian habitat and rolling farmland. Along the way, you could bump into a wide variety of wildlife including deer, foxes, skunks, bobcats, otters, beavers, turtles, snakes, squirrels, chipmunks and even mink. In addition, it is possible to see just about every species of bird that can be found in Wisconsin along this trail. A portion of the Sugar River Trail (from Bump Road to Exeter Crossing Road) is also part of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail. Along this part of the trail you will encounter terrain features laid down by the powerful glaciers that once covered Wisconsin. The Ice Age National Scenic Trail now has over 500 miles of trail open to the public. Both trails have been designated National Recreation Trails by the National Park Service. Headquarters for the Sugar River State Trail is located in the historic New Glarus Train depot near the intersection of Railroad Street and Fifth Avenue (you can see it from Highway 69 as you come through the village). You may also get information about the trail at the Ranger Station in New Glarus Woods State Park. All bikers (16 and over) are required to purchase a daily or season state trail user permit. Bikers on the trail are reminded that the limestone screenings on the bed of the trail are subject to damage from a number of sources including heavy rain. Bikes should be kept under control at all times and a distance of at least two bike lengths should be maintained between cyclists. Warn others before passing and be sure wear protective clothing i.e. helmets, pant-leg clips, reflective clothing for night, etc. The 23 mile trail leads from New Glarus south through Monticello, east to Albany and then heads southeast to Brodhead. Riders heading out from New Glarus can check out the New Glarus Woods State Park where trail goers can bike, hike, picnic or even camp. Another favorite stop along the way is the Clarence Covered Bridge located between Albany and Brodhead. Local campgrounds in the vicinity of the trail include Crazy Horse Campgrounds in Brodhead and Sweet Minnihaha in Albany. For more information on fun things to do in Wisconsin check out Moon Handbook on Wisconsin, which features information about trips along the Sugar River Trail.
