Lake Menomin

The rail bed in the lower right foreground is the "Milwaukee Road" short line that ran from the Knapp, Stout, & Co. Mills in Menomonie to the shingle mill in Cedar Falls from 1882-1901.

In the distance, left and center at the shore line is the White Boat House.

The steel truss bridge right and center still has foundation remnants present on the far side of the river, but the Wisconsin Milling Co. mill is mostly paved over by the newer Hwy. 12 bridges.  (western southbound in 1940's and eastern added in the 1980's).
