Original Vision for the Lake DuBay Lions Park (c. 1982)
The Lake DuBay Lions
Club was Chartered in
November of 1980
The Club’s primary service area is around Lake
DuBay in central Wisconsin (about half- way
between Stevens Point and Wausau).
One of the original club projects was to
renovate an abandoned wayside on a former
section of old Highway 51 into a community
park. This area is in Marathon County and is
located on the shore of Lake DuBay in the town
of Knowlton, just south of Mullin’s Cheese
Factory and Retail Store.
The DuBay Lions Park has become the
centerpiece for many club and community
activities and is a significant recreational asset
for this part of the Lake and County.
