Fall at Lake Petenwell

Written on October 17, 2012 by

The fall season throughout Wisconsin is typically a beautiful time of year. With the grandness of Lake Petenwell, the stunning beauty and fall colors are even more impressive. A boat ride around the lake taking in the multi-colored and forested shoreline provides for an enjoyable fall ride. While enjoying the colors, one is also sure to come across flocks of geese and even sand hill cranes migrating to warmer climate. The deer become more active and the turkeys are always out in the fields and along the road ways.

Unfortunately it also means the end of summer and another great boating season. The site of vacant boat lifts, removed piers, and lack of boating activity are just another sign that winter is right around the corner. While we already anxiously await the arrival of the next boating season, we leave you with some colorful fall photos taken from the Lake Petenwell area.
