The view from my dining room table, which has served as my office for more than a year now, stretches out across 519 acres of water. The lake is clear, officially 38 feet at its deepest, but the water is so high right now I’d bet it’s deeper. A crude calculation of acre-feet puts it close to 10,000.There’s another lake across the road but just out of view. It holds another 4,600 acre-feet. Lakes bigger and smaller dominate the local landscape. A few miles to the west, the upper stretch of the Wisconsin River flows into the 3,153-acre Rainbow Reservoir.
