Park Location
Nashotah Park is located between the communities of Oconomowoc and Hartland, 1/2 mile north of U.S.H. 16 on the west side of C.T.H. C. This 443-acre park is nestled among rolling hills, woodlands, wetlands, and grasslands, offering habitat for deer, waterfowl, and a variety of songbirds. 

Park Amenities
Nature trails lead through easily identifiable landscape types that were created by the last glacial advance over 10,000 years ago. These landscape types are: a natural lake system, an oak forest, an oak savannah (an area sparsely populated with trees), a cedar glade, a floating leaf marsh, a meadow, a shallow marsh, and a deep marsh. Due to the variety of landscapes, Nashotah Park has an outstanding array of songbirds. The scenery comes alive with different colors for each season.

The WATC Annual Fun Day is planned for Sunday, October 19th.  A couple of our members have mentioned sharing information regarding Rally, Scent articles and Tracking.  More details will follow.  Save the date!  The location is the Racine Kennel Club.

As in the past, we have the opportunity to walk in the Grafton Christmas Parade with our Airedales.  This has been a fun event, but we'd like to determine how much interest there would be, as Sandi Cooley needs to sign us up.  It's the Saturday morning after Thanksgiving, which would be November 29th.  Please e-mail Sandi at RLCDALES@AOL.COM if you might be interested in that event.  She needs to send this in soon, so please drop her a line as soon as possible, indicating your interest in participating.
