months, catch live music three times

a week at the brewery’s large outdoor

SOAK UP LAKE LIFE

Middleton is located on one of

Wisconsin’s iconic lakes—Lake

Mendota—and there are several ways

you can get on the water to soak in

the sun or take in views of the state

Capitol. Here are a few of our favorite

ways to experience Lake Mendota.

Marshall Boats Board & Boat Rentals

has a fleet of new kayaks, canoes,

paddleboards and pontoon boats

available for rent in Marshall Park. The

business also operates a café, offers

lessons and hosts special events.

Boaters who come with their own

watercraft will find some nice places

to launch a boat in and around

Middleton: the Lake Street Boat

Ramp, the Marshall Park Boat Ramp

and the small boat launch at Mendota

County Park .

Captain Bill’s is a seafood restaurant

right on the shore of Lake Mendota.

The restaurant serves up delicious

seafood, steaks, chicken and pasta

dishes, as well as a beautiful lake view.
