About Green Lake
Green Lake in Green Lake County, Wisconsin, is the deepest natural inland lake in the state at 237 feet, about 7 miles long with a steep, wooded shore. The Winnebago called it the lake of the green color; the Oakwood Hotel opened on it in 1867, making it the oldest resort area west of Niagara.
The city of Green Lake and the Green Lake Conference Center — once the Lawson estate — are the landmarks; the lake's clarity comes from being spring-fed and surrounded by hills.

Why we cut this one
Green Lake is one of the lakes people ask us for by name — the kind of shoreline where the house has a name and the dock has a history. This board is cut from the same depth grid the configurator uses for all 104,419 lakes, so the shape is the real one.Turn it in your hands
