Betterment Projects
COMMONS PARK KIOSK
In 2022, our Design Committee worked on revamping the Commons Park Kiosk that has been vacant for many years.
Local artist Peggy Furlin created renderings of historic homes and buildings that leads to a walking tour for our locals and visitors.
This is a great way for us to show off our historic town and better appreciate the charm that we are so lucky to be surrounded by in Legendary Lake Mills.
LEGENDARY LANE
The Legendary Lane renovation is complete. We invite you to take a stroll through the alley between 201 and 203 North Main Street to admire the plantings, lighting, and gorgeous pathway.
BIRDING CHECKLIST
Lake Mills Local Aaron Wendt created a Bird Watching Checklist for the Glacial Drumlin Trail for his Eagle Scout Project. Legendary Lake Mills (Chamber of Commerce) helped to finance this project.
Birding checklists were created and are available in waterproof boxes in three locations in the marsh. Over 200 birds have been documented in that area.
Wendt led over 30 people who devoted approximately 140 service hours in a birding project to encourage birdwatching and conservation in the Zeloski Marsh Wildlife Area west of Lake Mills.
LAKE MILLS MURAL
A new mural is being created in collaboration with local artists Peggy Furlin, Bruce Furlin, and Mack Ross.
The artwork highlights the unique character of Lake Mills with references to Sandy Beach, Bartels Beach, Korth Park, Aztlan State Park, and Rock Lake. Water and sailboats symbolize the beauty of Rock Lake, while trees recognize our community’s designation as a “Tree City” since 1992.
The mural will also feature Lake Mills’ upcoming “Bird City” status, which is expected to be awarded in March 2026, according to Eric Schreiner, City of Lake Mills Parks Director.
