Friess Lake is a 121-acre lake in the Village of Richfield, in Washington County, Wisconsin. ^[1] It is a recreational lake with sport fishing and it is a no-wake lake. ^[2] Little Friess Lake is connected to Friess Lake by a small channel. ^[3]

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]
