One of the prime lakes for Inland Lake sailing is Lake Beulah, Wisconsin. This 834-acre lake lies less than two hours north of Chicago. All water sports are welcome here, but sailing holds a special spot with the residents and summer visitors to Lake Beulah. The local yacht club is well-attended, well-appointed, and hosts a great many sailing events and regattas over the summer. These hardy Wisconsin sailors sometimes take to sail before the ice is completely gone from the lake!

Nestled within the southern Wisconsin farmland, Lake Beulah shares the history of sailing with nearby Lake Geneva and Lake Delavan. Walworth County settled a little later than those communities along the shore of Lake Michigan. It wasn’t until the 1830s that it appears any but the local Native Americans found Lake Beulah. Small settlements grew near Lake Beulah over the next fifty years such as East Troy, Mukwonago and Honey Creek.

Lake Beulah is primarily residential with few businesses near the shore. East Troy and Mukwanago are both less than five miles away, however, and provide anything a visitor or resident needs. Nearby, The Elegant Farmer, Wisconsin’s Largest Farm Market, is located at Highways J and ES near Mukwonago. There are plenty of golf courses in the area. Hiking, bicycling and snowmobiling in season are popular local activities. There is even skydiving nearby.
