Lake Helen is a hidden gem in Central Wisconsin. Only 30 minutes to UW-Stevens Point, Waupaca, and Amherst, and 15 minutes to Iola. Use the properties canoe or kayaks to explore the lake or go fishing on your relaxing vacation. Wade into the 2-foot water and cool off with the kids! Bring your boat and leave it at the dock.
