Lake Mills Life
OUR COMMUNITY
Lake Mills is a special place, with a charm that is unmatched.
From the bustling summer Farmers’ Market to the sight of children skating around a Norman Rockwell-esque ice rink in Commons Park during the Knickerbocker Ice Festival, there is a hum about the community that never ends, regardless of the season!
Find peace in nature at one of our many parks or entertainment at a one of our local music venues… Find your new favorite dish at one of our eateries. Learn something new at a workshop hosted by a retailer or learn something about the past at the historic L.D. Fargo Library!
Lake Mills always has something to give to visitors and residents alike!
ABOUT LAKE MILLS
Lake Mills is more than just an exit on I-94!
While we love the commercial district that has evolved alongside the interstate offering convenient access to food, shopping and services, Lake Mills also boasts a quaint and historic downtown with a gorgeous, tree-lined Main Street, as well as a bustling industrial park, various housing developments (both new and established) and, of course, a pristine lake!
Downtown you’ll find a charming assortment of eateries, boutiques and shops, a brewery, winery and other businesses all housed in its historic buildings.
Lake Mills’ industrial park is home to a variety of manufacturers (including another brewery, a distillery, a chocolatier and a nationally known cheese packaging company). Contractors, producers and engineers are just some of the many commercial businesses you’ll find flourishing within the community!
