A small Tichigan Lake community
Wisconsin’s Tichigan takes its name from the lake at its heart, Tichigan Lake. With a median lot size of half an acre, homes of Tichigan cluster around the lake and Fox River, which feeds the lake. There are a handful of local bars and restaurants, and the area is surrounded by green space. Interstate access is just a few miles north, putting downtown Milwaukee just 30 miles away. “We’re kind of a bedroom community to Milwaukee, Racine and Waukesha,” says Jim Wendt, real estate broker and appraiser with Mel Wendt Realty, Inc. “It’s a place for those who want to have more of the country experience without being far from the big city.”
Tichigan Lake and a small petting zoo
The Bear Den Zoo and Petting Farm has a wide selection of animals that guests can interact with. The zoo’s regular animals include chickens, rabbits, llamas and goats, and they also host a variety of guest animals throughout the year. Tichigan Lake spans 279 acres and has a maximum depth of 63 feet. The lake is a popular spot to boat and fish for largemouth bass, northern pike and other types of fish. On Jensen Parkway, Waterford Town Park offers an open green space, a swing set, a baseball field and picnic shelters.
