Year-round activities on Lake Koshkonong
Homes on the large 10,000-acre lake often have docks or piers where boats can be parked. For those without access to a boat, Floating Toy on Ellendale Road on the Rock River has watercraft and water skis for rent. The fun doesn’t end in the winter. When the lake freezes over, there are snowmobile races and ice fishing.

Newville homes near the water
There are homes on Lake Koshkonong ranging from $250,000 to $750,000. Most of them are modest cottages, raised ranches, or roomy A-Frames. Subdivisions built within the past five years have modern updates on ranch-style homes and more traditional contemporary designs. More established subdivisions may have a Craftsman built in the 1940s or a mid-20th century tri-level. South of Route 59 is the campground with seasonal properties, including manufactured homes priced between $100,000 and $200,000.

Restaurant and bar in a historic house in Newville
Just blocks from the lake, Lake House Inn is branded as a supper club, with a restaurant open from Thursday through Saturday nights and for brunch on Sunday. There’s a liquor-themed gift shop that also sells chocolates and tchotchkes. It’s in a house that was built in the 1840s and just went through a recent renovation. A liquor boutique and tasting bar are also part of the gift shop. A few other area restaurants double as a place to snag watercraft for a day. “Anchor Inn and Wet Bottoms are restaurants on the water that also rent boats,” Paumen says. Anchor Bar & Grill has live music with a stage on the water, just a few feet offshore. There’s live music in the summer on Friday and Saturday nights and Sunday during the day. There’s indoor and outdoor seating to enjoy burgers, sandwiches, salads, wings and tacos. There’s trivia every other Thursday night from 7 to 9 p.m. Across the Rock River is Wet Bottoms Bar & BBQ—plenty of outdoor seating on the south side of the Rock River with occasional live music on weekends. Barbecue is the specialty, with the option to have a gluten-free bun, and they make their own sweet barbecue sauce, which is predominantly sweet. The closest grocery store is Piggly Wiggly, about 5 miles to the west in the town of Edgerton.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
