KINGSTON
A small, rural community located in southwest Green Lake County, Kingston
has a population of approximately 346. Kingston is located on State Highway 44.
Kingston boasts many municipal services, including a national award winning
public library, which demonstrates the commitment to growth, education and the
spirit of community service fostered by the citizens of this small and vibrant
village!
The Grand River meanders through Kingston and is dammed there to form Grand
Lake…a favorite year-around fishing spot for local fishermen. Several years ago
the lake was treated by the Wisconsin DNR, who subsequently loaded the lake with
Northern Pike and a variety of panfish. Grand Lake is also a favorite of duck
hunters!
Kingston is also the eastern gateway to the Grand River Marsh State Wildlife
Area, a four-season haven for conservationists, sportsmen and families
interested in hunting, fishing and viewing wildlife…and simply enjoying nature!
Kingston is also located within a large, rural Amish community.
So come…see…hear and Experience Kingston!

Manchester is a small hamlet in southern Green Lake County. It
is situated on the juncture of two State Highways - Hwy 73 and Hwy 44.

and ride horses on the town roads, plus this is Amish Country and you may see a
few wagons on the roadways...so please drive carefully.
