History

The village of Richfield has six lakes and the largest one is Friess Lake.[4][5] In 2008 the Wisconsin Department of Natural resources began trying to improve access to the lake. Grant money was used to make a boat launch on the 15-acre Little Friess Lake. Boaters can use the channel which leads from Little Friess to get to Friess Lake.[6]
