Pike Lake, located just north of Hartford, is part of the Kettle Moraine State Forest. The lake was formed by the retreat of glaciers thousands of years ago, leaving behind a beautiful kettle lake. The area offers hiking, fishing, and boating.
In the 19th century, the Potawatomi had a village on the eastern shore of the lake. Today, the Pike Lake Unit provides recreational opportunities and a glimpse into the region's glacial past.
