"Four Seasons of Fun" Situated on
the edge of what was once a great glacial lake in Wisconsin, Mauston
-- the county seat of Juneau County --
was named after M.M. Maughs, owner of a dam and sawmill built on the Lemonweir River in the early 1850's. Maughs dropped the "gh"
from his name, added a "ton" and the rest is history.
A central location in Wisconsin puts Mauston -- situated along the Lemonweir
River -- in close proximity to an incredible variety of
attractions and recreational opportunities in all four seasons!
There is an 18-hole golf course, volleyball and tennis courts, picnic
areas, bowling, hunting, swimming, biking, snowmobiling, skiing,
boating and fishing and, as the retail center of Juneau County, has
plenty of shopping and dining venues too. And nearby to
Mauston are the state's 2nd and 4th largest lakes: Petenwell and
Castle Rock.
With the
charm of a small town and plenty of opportunity for growth, Mauston
is a great place to be, offering something for everyone!
