About Lake Mills

True to its name, Lake Mills got its start as a 19th-century milling settlement along the shores of Rice Lake. Today, this quiet Winnebago County community offers an easygoing small-town lifestyle with outdoor recreation right in its backyard. Locals spend weekends fishing, boating, or camping at nearby Rice Lake State Park, while the close-knit school district and welcoming downtown give the area a friendly neighborhood feel. It is a great northern Iowa spot for anyone looking for a slower pace and plenty of fresh air.
