Places to Go
Fredrickson Minnow Stand
While no longer in business, these ladies lived their entire life in Star Lake. While you can not go inside, it brings back memories for many people who grew up coming to the area.
Lake Laura Hardwoods State Natural Area
Located right off Highway K, right by where Highway N intersects, there is a place to park and hike into this fantastic forest which also included Salsich Lake.

Old Mill Site Centennial Park
Since our Centennial celebration in 1994, the Star Laker's have developed the Old Mill Site town park. Located off Statehouse Road (turn right past the Star Lake Store), on Star Lake, the park offers a pavilion, picnic tables, children's playground equipment, swimming and modern pit toilets.
In 2006 the Star Laker's Club purchased a 36" wide, wheelchair-accessible fishing pier for the park, so no one will miss out on the fun of fishing our beautiful area.
So load up your car and spend a great family day at the town park.

Old Milltown Depot
The Old Milltown Depot includes a retail storefront during the summer, the railroad sign and the replica train depot.
Thus far, plans have been made to create two museums on the Old Milltown Depot land- one with the Fredrickson company house and the other with a replica of the Star Lake depot. The Fredrickson house will serve as a museum illustrating Star Lakes history and will be full of artifacts dating from 1895. The depot will serve as a museum dedicated to Star Lake’s railroad days.
