Fond du Lac lauded as a 'Waterfront Town'
Published August 21, 2007 - BizTimes Daily
Fond du Lac was named one of the nation's "Top Waterfront Towns" in the September issue of National Geographic Adventure, part of the magazine's list of the "50 Best Places to Live and Play" in the country.
Fond du Lac was the only Wisconsin community named to the list.
"Fond du Lac is not only one of the great gems of Wisconsin, but of the country as well," said Jerry Murphy, executive director of New North Inc. "With an abundance of recreational activities, great schools, and a friendly atmosphere, it's no surprise that the city was named one of the best places to live and play."
Fond du Lac, which is located on the southern tip of Lake Winnebago, was praised by National Geographic Adventure for its beautiful lakefront and miles of hiking and running trails.
Recently, the city also garnered national recognition for the safety of its community and was named the "Safest Metropolitan Area" in the country by the Morgan Quinto Press.
"Fond du Lac's virtues are representative of the New North as a whole," Murphy said. "As our region continues to receive praise from throughout the country, more and more people are discovering why the New North is one of the best places anywhere to live, work, and raise a family."
