the forest offers remarkable scenic and recreational
opportunities. On your way there
you’ll pass a flowing artesian well hand-dug
to a depth of 55 feet in 1895 by Adam
Channing. To this day, it gushes with cold,
clear water.
At the end of Clover Valley Road you’ll
follow the edge of Rice and Whitewater
Lakes. Nearby is the state forest’s Whitewater
Lake Recreational Area offering camping, picnic
areas and a clean swimming beach.
On the other side of the Kettle
Moraine’s ridge is Old World Wisconsin, the
largest outdoor museum of historic rural life
in the nation. Here, more than sixty historic
buildings built by Wisconsin pioneers of
almost every ethnic hue serve as a living
museum where crafts and skills of the past
come alive (open daily May-Oct, hours vary;
262/594-6300,
www.wisconsinhistory.org/oww). The rustic
octagonal Clausing Barn serves as the Visitor
Center and a cafeteria.
Just as the terrain really starts to roll
along Kettle Moraine Drive, the route turns
west across gentler terrain to the crossroads
villages of Utters Corners and Lima Center.
Around these towns you’ll be treated to
Wisconsin farm scenery at its best.
As you approach Cold Spring, you’ll
wind your way through a drumlin field.
Characterized by their teardrop-shape, these
hills are all oriented in the direction of the
flow of Wisconsin’s last glacial ice sheet.
Cold Spring has one major claim to fame. In
July of 1832, future president Abraham
Lincoln was a captain in the Illinois Militia
that had come north to pursue the Sauk
leader Blackhawk and his band. When hostilities
ceased and it was time to go home,
Lincoln had to walk the 200 miles back to
Illinois. His horse had been stolen. The incident
is commemorated at Cold Spring
Creamery Park.
When you visit, be sure to bring your
bike lock.
