About the Venue:

Three Waters Reserve is a privately-owned nature reserve and event center owned and managed by the Southern Wisconsin Land Conservancy. The event center sits on 57 acres of restored native habitat along the Lower Sugar River near Brodhead, WI. Once occupied by the Decatur Lake Golf Course (1926-2018), the reserve is now home to the Lower Sugar River Watershed Field Station, a hub for watershed research and education, and unique food experiences of Chef John Marks of Culinary Nirvana, LLC. The dramatic topographic relief and habitats on the property range from upland oak savanna and prairie to forested and emergent wetlands and open water, making it an important area for biodiversity, including rare and uncommon plant species and wildlife. The property is located in a reach of the Sugar River featuring public and private nature preserves and wildlife management areas comprising nearly 7,000 acres of Avon Bottoms and adjacent conservation lands, considered a state wetland gem and important bird area.
