Concessions and Rentals

Kettle Moraine State Forest - Northern Unit

A concession stand is located at the Mauthe Lake picnic area. Food and beverages are available for sale. Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day the concession stand is open Monday-Friday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday-Sunday, 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Parkview General Store provides a fleet of rowboats and canoes for fishing or just paddling. It also has three funyaks and two four-seat paddle boats. Most of the float craft are at Mauthe Lake Recreational Area's boat landing; however, rowboats are also at Lake Seven, Forest and Auburn lakes. To rent a watercraft, first go to the Parkview General Store on County Highway GGG, about 0.2 miles north of the Mauthe Lake Recreation Area's entrance road. After paying rental fees, you will receive a key to unlock your rental at the boat launch area. A personal flotation device for each person is included in the rental.

Firewood ($5 per rack) is available near the Mauthe Lake and Long Lake entrance stations when open. An honor system keeps the cost of firewood low.
