#haveVISITORSGUIDE #willTRAVEL Whether you’re day-tripping, vacationing, visiting us with a tour, or, best yet, you’ve decided to come and join our community as a resident, there is something for everyone in Green Lake Country.

Welcome to Green Lake Country!

What makes a vacation unforgettable? Great weather, a great destination, and a place where you can bring your family and friends to create everlasting memories. Berlin, Green Lake, Markesan, Princeton and Ripon: five cities making up one great destination. The abundance of outdoor activities will thrill the silent sport fans, while those looking for a little more R&R can enjoy a luxury spa experience, yoga in the vineyard, antique “treasure hunting”, heritage tourism via 12 historical societies and museums, and the best of small town boutique shopping.

Music festivals, live stage performances, cozy coffee shops and old-fashioned ice cream parlors will remind you of how nice it is to enjoy the simple things in life. Visit Green Lake Country for a weekend, for a week or even a month. Then, Relax. Retreat. Repeat.
