Lake Michigan at its finest
In the middle of a hot summer day, cool off in Lake Michigan. Don't forget your bathing suit on your next car rental Milwaukee vacation. Lay out a beach towel and enjoy the sun. With a large sandy beach on the shores of Lake Michigan, the park is a great summer location. The wide beach is great for tossing a ball or just relaxing with your car rental Milwaukee companions. Stroll along the beach and get your toes wet. You'll never forget your trip to Harrington Beach.
I once caught a fish "this big"
After your next car rental Milwaukee trip, you'll be telling fish stories for years. Wade into Lake Michigan and fish the surf or try the more peaceful Quarry Lake or Puckett's pond. Before you drop your line, make sure you've stopped into a nearby town to purchase a temporary fishing license (try Wal-Mart). Quarry Lake is a large and deep fishing ground where you can reel in bass, trout, pike, and walleye. Although Puckett's pond is smaller, it is easily accessible from the picnic areas and is home to many local fish as well.

Put up a tent or stay in a Yurt

The campgrounds will feature 28 electric sites, 33 non-electric sites, a toilet and shower building, and much more. You can also stay in a yurt. A yurt is a circular tent that is elevated on a platform. Sleeping in one of these beautiful skylit yurts will offer a unique flare to your vacation.
Finding your way to Harrington Beach
