Lakeside Dining: We think Shipwreck Bay has the best overall food and atmosphere (8-minute drive), while The Dirty Turtle has the happy hour deals, space for kids, live music, and an active marina (4-minute drive). The best burger is the Smashburger at Pine Cove Bar & Grill (6-minute drive).
Day Trip: The Wisconsin Dells is only a 35-minute drive and offers so many activities year-round. Devil's Lake is just past the Dells and is Wisconsin's most popular state park.
